Handy girl!!

From what appears to be the Rondout area of super happening Kingston, NY, comes this lovely photo sent in by loyal reader A grrr. A link to pretty handy girl's blog post on chair makeovers goes out to A-grr as our little way of saying "thanks".

Free flourishes

Some slackers evidently feel that it's sufficient to simply stake a sign with the solitary word "free" on it. Others feel, apparently, that a little extra is called for. Something about this text made me turn the car around on the way home from golf. The boy took the shot. He's the best. A carton of Titleist pro v.1s goes out to loyal reader Moss M. as our little way of saying "thanks."

Uno mas troika!

Loyal reader Stefan S. sends in this troika of free pics from the hardscrabble streets of Rhinebeck, NY.  A three pack of his choice goes out to Stefan S. as our little way of saying "thanks!"

A beautiful day in the neighborhood.

It was a great day for free signs in Rhinebeck, NY this Sunday. Here's what we found:

Bending the rules

Well, loyal reeder and all-around avatar of awesomeness,  Meridith M. sends in this pick, sent to her by a "friend" who, like many, appreciates a good grammar stickler hear and there. Further querying lead to an investigation which lead to the interwebs, which lead to an online presence for this pick. Which wood normally exclude it from publication. Butt in this case, were bending the rules. 'Cause it's grate. Sew grate. A carton of Newport's ("Alive with pleasure!") goes out to Meridith M. as our little weigh of saying "thanks!"

Ok, hoser.

From Ottawa, a place that loyal reader Claire M. claims is the capital of a country called "Canada" (try finding THAT on a map, eh?) comes this little pic of bird feeders taking a much deserved break after a hard day of supplying our avian friends with a little poutine and Labatt's blue. A carton of Export "A" (Export "A", eh?) goes out to Claire M. as our little way of saying "thanks" for keeping an eye oot for a good photo!
