I can’t endorse these puns, so someone needs to get a handle on the situation. ---

Some quality entries already. One really impressed. Been fighting getting used to Orion browser as my regular browser Brave has timed out for the forum now tho oddly it seems to work on my MacBook Air which is newer and has later OS ….not chance I’m moving off Mojave tho. Orion getting better and for sure not so laggy. ---

I was tempted to submit this: [![](https://i.imgur.com/HXLh0gX.jpeg) ](https://i.imgur.com/HXLh0gX.jpeg) But the other looked more like a door. And I don’t like the shadow on the wall to the left. ---

Just an aside about @beowulff 's photo (the door of the Chicken & Waffle place). I had an idea of going to a Gates BBQ in Kansas City and taking a picture of their door. Get it? Doors? Gates? But it’s about a 45 minute drive to the nearest Gates and I never got around to it. Oh well. ---
