30,000 lights may get you featured in the largest in-state newspaper in Colorado. It wouldn't even go noticed here. Check out the light count at Deacon Dave's house on the right-hand side of the photo below. You read that right: 345,300.
It is not a lie.

Your state truly is the derangerest. On behalf of all Coloradans, I cry "uncle!"
I can't stop thinking about this; obviously, Deacon Dave's display is meant to symbolize the life, work and miracles of the Son of God - the North wall of the Sistine Chapel writ suburban - but:
1) Doesn't the Roman Catholic Church have enough problems with their image? A wild-card deacon with an obvious ploy to lure children onto his property isn't going to help. It's like Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch (another Californian landmark) but only open after dark.
2) How much do deacon's get paid, in California?
Which reminds me of the story of another overpaid CA resident: "Irrational, Delusional, Unfireable: Meet California's Highest-Paid State Employee"

3) IT LOOKS AWESOME - why haven't we been invited out to Livermore for a Xmas Summit?! Is it too late? When do the control rods get lowered back into the reactor?
There's a standing invitation to have a Summit in Livermore. Deacon Dave changes themes each year and it's certainly worth a trip out here. His xmas display isn't nuclear powered. Yet. The electric company had to install a commercial-grade transformer in front of his house a few year ago to power all the lights. I don't even know where to begin with the code violations, but some things are more important than the law.
