Providing urological care for healthier lives.

now we’ve got seven dedicated, 20-amp circuits for the lights. Whoever buys this house next is going to be like ‘what the heck?’

DON’T ALL THESE LIGHTS MAKE YOUR ELECTRICITY BILL GO UP?

Hammond: Not really. Our power bill was maybe $40 more last December, because we don’t keep them on all the time. We turn them off around 10 or 11. But we blew the breakers a couple of times last year.

WHAT DO YOUR NEIGHBORS THINK OF ALL THIS?

Boozer: We are really lucky because our neighbors are great about it.

Hammond: Cars jockey for position, and we have people driving up and down the street all the time. We ask that people don’t park in people’s driveways or honk their horns or be silly because this is a residential street, and we want to respect our neighbors.

WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

Boozer:This year, we’re sponsoring the SPCA, so people can drop off items from their wish list, like a can of Easy Cheese or an old towel. We’ll set up bins, and if someone wants to donate something, they can, but it’s not required. IBM [where Boozer works as a consultant] is matching donations, so hopefully we will raise a little bit of money for them. Anything helps. The SPCA wish list is available at spca.org.
