The absolutely worst waste of bronze in the history of humankind is presently on full display on the corner of Junction and Main street in Sturgis, South Dakota.
If, perchance, you would care to purchase this vague lump of visual discomfort, it can be yours for a mere $32,000 USD. Enjoy!

I guess that having an image of an attractive young woman on your dumpster rental billboard gets more business than if one didn't the use the image of an attractive young woman on your dumpster rental billboard...

Didn't have time to take a pic, but a heard of goats ran out in front of me this morning on my Scooter ride. Some turned back as I hit the brakes & horn ( as anemic as it is). Good thing I wasn't closer when they bolted. I was going about 50.

One day this past week I was awake in the middle of the night. I do this alphabet trick where I pick a subject (music, food, antique store merchandise, car models) and I run through the alphabet, naming an item for each letter.
I thought of a song I honestly haven't heard or seen the video for since high school. I didn't say anything about it to anyone. Tonight it's in my YouTube feed ... |

It struck me as odd to use an attractive young woman's image to promote a dumpster rental business on a local roadside billboard.

So, I'm in my car listening to Syd Barrett's "Dominoes" and I notice I'm behind a Domino's delivery car.
