While I was at the store yesterday, I picked up a new solar light. This one is 20 lumen. Most solar lights are 1 lumen, so this one puts out the equivalent of 20 of those. It would be bright enough to light the entire front yard if I place it on a pole. Very attractive with a blue-white light.
However, for multiple reasons, I think I'll place it in the back yard. One is security. Solar lights are too mobile, meaning someone can pick up your solar light out of the ground and walk off with it. Besides, I have a motion detecting light in the front yard. Plus I like being able to walk out in the front yard and look at the stars at night.. when my paranoid neighbors don't turn on their front lights as soon as I walk out the door.
On that point, they're also stupid, if it's paranoia. They turn on the lights when they hear any noise or anyone speaking. If someone was going to invade their house, they would approach quietly. On the other hand, if it's need for attention (which is unbelievably rampant in this culture), it's a whole different ball of wax. No, I am not coming over to speak to you in Mexican because you turned on your front yard lights behind your two fence lines when you heard me speaking in English.. or coughing.. or my TV.. or closing my car door.. If you need that much attention get out and get a life, take down some of your fences.. and learn to speak English. And once in a dang while, walk outside and say hello when you see me in my front yard, rather than sitting there behind your two fence lines with your annoying tiny dogs barking at anyone who walks down the street. Maybe go see a psychiatrist. They'll pay attention to you. It is seriously annoying how many of these people remain behind walls and stand in their doors and windows, looking out at the world, wanting attention but want that attention to come to them behind their walls and fences. Yet they never see what is wrong with this picture. Call me rude or not compassionate. As an adult, at some point reasoning needs to overcome fear. I have compassion with people that want to overcome their fears, not those who wallow in it.
