   Grinch sighted in Hilo, Hawaii, leaving for  Whoville,   
      
   I was finishing, setting up my Christmas light display today. It's pretty   
   nice. I've Santa and a Snowman standing in a sleigh, being pulled by eight   
   reindeer connected with a blue light rope and on one side and one that   
   alternates green and red, it looks like they are flying, arc-like upward,   
   connected to the eaves.  I put different walls of six strings of lights   
   operated by controllers that put on a twenty-seven minute light show of 18,   
   90 second patterns.  There is a wall each in front, side and back.  Three   
   trees each in front ,back and are decorated, one is a Norfolk pine and has   
   lighted ornements and canes, with lighted tube packages around it.   
   Everything comes on with photo-cells and timers.   
      
   Most of it, I've collected the last couple of years, on sale, just before   
   and after Christmas; at Sears, Ace and WALMART.  Last year I bought six   
   controllers at WALMART.  I opened them this year and half of them didn't   
   work.   
      
   So, to flesh things out a bit I needed a few more strings of lights to add   
   on to the show.  I checked out Sears and there wasn't much left.  The next   
   closest place was either the new Home Depot, opened this week, or WALMART   
   across the street.   
      
   I went to WALMART and found the lights that I needed and was checking out of   
   the store.  I felt a fuzzy touch on my right ear, and a flash of green out   
   of the side of eye and I turned around.  There was the GRINCH in WALMART and   
   he was giving me the MOON.  Well, I MOONED the s.o.b. back and kicked him   
   between the legs and the last that I saw of him he was flying somewhere over   
   toward Whoville.
