My new favorite warning sign:

Beware the angry owl.

(This was my previous favorite warning sign)

[seanocono]

I couldn't stop laughing at that sign, so I clicked the link and discovered people actually get their scalps clawed by these owls. It's not so funny, anymore– especially, since I occasionally visit Salem, OR.

[Surf Monkey]

Oh, Oregon. That owl sign/story has been getting a ton of national play. Very typical of our state.

It's Friday!..

Our windows today it was cold today -3 fahrenhetit or -19 celsius.
The coldest here was in 1993 -16 fahrenhetit.

[Qinhan]

That's very pretty, Twin.  I hope you've got double-glazing!

That "WTF" moment when you see a picture of someone EDC on social media and wonder how they can even stand up carrying all that shit. Three wallets…....REALLY!!!

In the early 80's Jeremy Clarkson advertised Mansfield Bitter under the slogan "Not much matches Mansfield". Weird.

[Chris]

Pretty much everything surpasses it, however.

The Texas of the East Midlands…...if Texas was full of heroin addicts and surly Eastern European characters wearing discounted sportswear and drinking endless cans of Lech lager.

Houston is a large, diverse city.  I'm pretty sure I can find just such a neighborhood to make you feel at home, Gav.

@Seul  they're made for ya

That's brilliant… But how do we know a pig's nose is an item of comfort?.. 

In other news: changed energy supplier... My province does an annual auction where they let suppliers make their best (cheapest) offer for families, whom can then subscribe... Second year I'm doing this... But now I'm apparently also eligible for a free boiler maintenance... Nice: my certificate expires may 2015 and it costs around 100 € to have it done.

Happy pig (perhaps in spite of the nose)...
