[TheForge] Small Shop etc

[Michael H. Murphy]

I've never heard them called "northern lights", but I haven't really talked
to a lot of people about them.  They were putting them in as part of our
office remodeling, and I asked one of the electricians about them.  With
that info, I went to Home Depot, and asked what they had in that line.  I
wound up buying a bunch, and now have a well-lighted shop.

Only problem is that now I can see what's been hiding on those dark corners.
EECCHH!!
