You tell me something's not quite right with these two photos:
The one at the left was taken across from City Hall, of all places. You might say it's an early snow for Michigan, but actually our first measurable snowfall of the season came about a week later than usual; we normally get it around Thanksgiving. What the heck are leaves doing in the middle of snow? Remember: leaf collections are over for the year.
This is going to make for a very interesting winter season. Never has it taken so long for leaves to fall. This fact actually made the front page of the Free Press about three weeks back. This photo was taken right after the previous one. Can you believe that the leaves on the bottom of the tree haven't even changed color yet?
And, since the camera is finally fixed, allow me to show you visual proof of what I wrote in the blog last year about one certain house simply going overkill on Christmas decorations. Here it is:
Just how many lawn ornaments can one lawn hold? Or has there been an eviction sale at this house?
If my father is reading this, I know what he'll think: "Son, remember when you, your mom and I went down 11th Street (in Wyandotte) every year and saw that whole block done up?"
Yes Dad, I remember. But the point was, that was stretched out over the whole block; eight houses. And it was in the day before all those stupid inflatable lawn ornaments. And also in the day before cities became politically correct and didn't want symbols of the true meaning of Christmas to show up in public.
The commercial icons all in a row are simply disturbing. Now watch this house win the city's decorating contest later this month! Figures, doesn't it?
