TURNING ON THE LIGHTS

One of the interesting moments in life is sitting in a room with soft lighting or just enough lighting. Then someone walks in and puts on the lights full blast.

Larry Murphy did that every morning. Six or seven of us would be at breakfast in our dining room and he would walk in - and loud the lights - saying, "Let's put some light on the subject?"

And all 7 of us would chant, "No! Oh no!"

Some people's eyes are comfortable with natural light.

Shouldn't we have the right to have natural light some. Let those who don't like soft light - those who don't like "darkness" - grin and bear it at least 25% of the time,

Ugh! It seems that those who like full blast light all the time - always think they are in the right with the lights.

I guess this is the way life works.

I guess I would feel a bit better about all this, if the person who is going to put the on the lights would ask once in a while, "Is it all right if I could put some more light on?"

And we moles and mice in the dark got our way once in a while.
