Did we make the annual holiday pilgrimage to The Cadillac Ranch and the PingWi-Fi Wind Farm? … Well duh!  Added bonus — snow was delivered right on schedule last night … er … after the “light display.”  Merry Christmas yo! * No animals were harmed in the making of this video, much.  And please, do […]
