A couple days before yesterday's Halloween I was surprised whilst driving Taft Boulevard to see that Christmas was already arriving on the MSU (Midwestern State University) campus.
At that point in time, a couple days ago, my location in Texas was in the throes of what was seeming like a stereotypical Western Washington winter day.
Cold, totally overcast gray sky, dripping all day long. With fog.
And then on the third day, Halloween, the fog lifted, with the return of a totally blue sky. With the temperature below freezing.
Today, with the temperature a bit above freezing I layered on layers of outerwear and rolled my handlebars to the MSU campus, where me and my handlebars stropped to take the festive holiday photos you see here.
If I remember right when this holiday extravaganza opens it is called "The Fantasy of Lights". I may be remembering that wrong.
It will be several more days before this fantasy lights up, as there are still a lot of installations not yet in place, and wired.
Every year which I have observed this particular holiday display there have been multiple new elements. So far, and it is early, I made note of nothing new.
And I gotta say. I am really not in the mood for this holiday season thing to start up. I am currently feeling more Scroogy than I usually do, and that is with a high level of Ebeneezer being my norm...
