It's loud now! We saw quite a show. I only bought 5 this year. One had no
wick. At least it was the $1.99 one. Mostly we just watch the neighbor's
because they seem to be wealthy and can afford many of those $50 and up
ones.

It's just so coooold here. They say warm weather is coming but I'll believe
it when I feel it. We just got too cold and had to come in. Plus all of
the ones closest to us have stopped. But we can still hear them all around.
