Another fond memory. I used to visit my grandparents in northern Minnesota ever other summer,  and we would go on hay rides.  We would start in the afternoon and finish in the evening when barn bucket blasters and nemas would be coming on. Another pleasant memory is when I was coming home from a European tour the pilot announced on the pa system that we were getting ready to land and I looked out my window and I could see mercury fixtures for miles. Good times. I have a lot of pleasant memories surrounding mercury vapor lamps. My favorite light source.
