I think that everyone traditionally knows that a red light means a Whore House or that Sex is for sale. However tonight coming home I saw a Bright Green Porch light.

GREEN???

What does this mean?? I have seen claims that its for Marijuana, Swingers, and safe havens for Run A Ways.

Does anyone know?

Also when I come home every night I see a BLUE porch light down in the Olympia District of town. Olympia is usually College students and or what's left of the Textile Mill workers that used to live in the area.

If colors were such consistent and widely understood symbols, then people who used them would be doing nothing more than marking themselves as criminals. Why not just put up a banner that says "Illegal activities transpiring inside. Probable cause for search warrant. Come on in."

Status: offline 		at Halloween time I always had an orange porch light. At Christmas I had a green or blue one depending on which lights I was using outside. In the summer, it was a bright yellow one.

They don't mean anything. This is one of those times when I would say get your head out of the gutter. Not everything means something taboo.

Have you ever heard the one that "A pair of tennis shoes thrown over a powerline/phoneline = a drug house"?

I had someone who swore by that until I pointed out that there were 2 in front of my house and all it means is that I live across from a Jr High school.

Status: offline 		I remember being in Home Depot once just to pick up some lightbulbs since I was in the area anywhere and I was amazed at all the different types they had....all different colors, fun shapes. Sometimes I like little kitschy things just to have a little fun in life.

Ssshhh...don't tell Master though. He already laughs at me and the stuff I buy sometimes just to feel kinda like a kid again

At Christmas, they put a red bulb in one and a green bulb in the other, and that was it four their outdoor decorating. I always thought that was pretty cool in understated way.

That's primarily yellow lights. If you go into a hardware store, they will have yellow lights marked as bug lights.
