Put a Little Light in Your Heart - and Your Neighbor's

Oregon in the winter is a pretty gloomy place - gray and rain, rain and gray. Christmas lights help dispel the gloom and now here's a story that says that whether or not a neighborhood turns on the lights is an indicator of its "social capital" e.g. - how well people care for each other. The story is ironic for me because although I like Christmas lights, I hate putting them up. Clover gave me the gift several years ago of hiring our neighbor's son to do it, which has been delightful. So consider putting them up yourself, or hiring someone, but however you get it done, invest a little social capital in your neighborhood.
