end of a road trip

Well, I just got back into the state from a thousand Mile journey and noticed two sets of Christmas lights. One has palm trees at the entrance of a plaza and lots of other stuff, and one was a shopping center and I don't think they're done.  Oh wait, all I did was travel 3 miles away but since the time changed 5:30 in the afternoon seems like 9:30 p.m. after a thousand Mile road trip.
