Lovely spring days last week. Today? Snow and ice pellets. Need something cheery. For some reason I can’t quite put my finger on, the image above by art director Marc Shur, aka Shakes The Clown, does the trick. Must be the bright colors.

Normally, folks in this hamlet drive like they’re afraid the paint might blow off their cars if they do more than 30, but if the sirens i’m hearing are any indication, they’ve decided pedal to the metal is the best way to handle snow and ice. Jackasses. No way i’m venturing out today.

And that is something you would certainly never suspect from your relationship with a pork chop.”
