In my neck of the woods, deer are quite common. There are yellow caution signs everywhere that show a gamboling deer with the warning “Deer Crossing”. Someone has gone to enormous trouble to put a round red sticker on all the deers’ noses so that we have the added warning that Rudolph is about to cross. Years ago a small town hotel that slipped beyond seedy was advertising their strippers and bar food. The sign said, “For Lunch Girls, Girls, Girls and Roast Beef Sandwich $5”. ---

Two days ago I stopped at a gas station and walked over to the trashcan by the pump to spit out my gum. Inside the trashcan was a pile of naked baby dolls. It wasn’t until I had gotten back into my car and driven a few more miles that I thought, “Hmm.” ---

It wasn’t until I had gotten back into my car and driven a few more miles that I thought, “Hmm.” Just curious: have there been many moments between then and now that you haven’t been running scenarios? I must admit it made me recall an event from pushing 40 years ago. On my way to work one morning I drove through the same little semi-rural community/neighborhood called Bakertown that I went through every day. It is/was a bunch of modest houses and maybe two dozen little stores of the sort you’d find further out in the country. There next to somebody’s mailbox was a five-gallon translucent bucket with a dead dog stuffed down inside of it. It amused me so much that I got a carload of folks from work to show it to. It stayed there for over a week before _somebody_ removed it. By then there was a blackish goo on the bottom of the bucket for maybe four inches from the bottom. I never did decide if it was roadkill or a family pet. ---

While on my way to Florida from Georgia my wife and I saw a sign that said: > [@](#): > > **CAUTION** > CHILDREN > PLAYING > BYRD WILLIAMS > FUNERAL HOME I thought that was pretty weird. ---

A while back in Montreal, I saw a panhandler on either Peel or Ste. Catherine with a sign saying “Smile if you masturbate and help us get fuckin’ drunk.” Also saw an old lady smoking a joint. ---
