These guys have been laying in my back yard for the last couple of hours.  There are four of them; one behind the tree.  WFH FTW!  ;D

They would look better in your freezer......

Yeah, was debating whether to  put this in the food thread...lol

Yes.  I had a tick on me several years ago but it tested negative.  It's a concern for sure.

Did see a Saturn Vue and a stegosaurus.

I know what a Saturn Vue is(was) but what are you meaning by see a "stegosaurus" ?  :think:

Pretty rare but I drive by one every week.



Ok, you know you can't DUI, don't you?  ;D

Driving down the highway toward the USA border for work earlier and I notice a RCMP car set up as a speed trap in the median.  Hardly a vehicle on the highway, so not sure what the point was in that, and why would he even want to pull someone over in this environment for something as trivial as a speeding violation?  Nothing better to do?  Almost made me want to put this in the moron thread.    ::) :P

I've been past one of those at an 'interesting' speed... Jeff knows...  :rofl2:

Just drove by someone dressed up as Santa Clause waving at me as I drove by.  Not sure what that was about but it made me smile.   ;D  Was on a rural road with not much traffic and I think it was a lady as well.   :-\

Are they blocking part of the sidewalk AND road? If so, how is this even legal?
