A Little Local Color

On an early-morning errand today, I was in a picture-taking mood.


When I ran my errand last week, this was a cute, blue mid-90's Toyota. Now it's scrap. The scorched speed limit sign is a nice touch (Sometimes I feel as if in my world, there is a prop-master prepping my sets).


It's creepy to see charred skeletons like this - makes me think of a Mad Max type world I hope we never see.


Yeah. Ocala Florida is 'The Horse Capital of the World'. All of the horse-related advertising makes a guy feel inadequate at times.


This is a horse-training track, with a nifty observation tower.

Good to know. Thanks.

Spoonerism or Freudian Slip?

Double-take: "Does that sign say 'Hot Gay'?"

No it does not.

A Real Sign

I snapped this picture early today in South Carolina - It really is blocked out like this.

Hat or Cup Handling is Acceptable?

New desk, new sign

This is a sign at my desk at work. My desk is in front of an emergency exit hatch (literally in front of it) and the hatch itself is sealed with drywall compound, and painted over.

I'd love the chance to test it someday... How long would it take me to drag my desk out of the way far enough to get the hatch open? And how readily would the hatch open? And hey, it would open in exactly the wrong direction. If I moved my desk to the only place I could move it, the desk would assist the door in blocking everyone but myself from using it.

All you have to do is drag 2 fully laden desks out of the way to escape.
You'd think this would be a fire hazard.
