Stan, the guy who is doing the metal work on Virgil has this set of cigar store Indians in his shop.

I’m not a smoker but appreciate the artistic work that created this Americana artwork

Finished the landscaping yesterday. That absolutely killed the budget for any cigar store Indian, unfortunately.

That looks like the polar opposite of your streetscape. All you need now is a small water feature (gator pond).

I just plugged in the trip to see how long it is, and the the point of interest that came up made it easy to find

We’re battling the invasion of dirt bikes, ATV’s, modified lawn garden tractors this year
What a PITA!
It’s especially a pita after midnight until around 3am
Reports to the police have them trying to deal with it

Apparently it’s from drivers losing their licenses and they resort to atvs as their transportation
Still uninsured and not legal but the cops have a hard time catching them
Doing the old man thing sitting on the new front deck taking pictures as they scream by and submit them for evidence and have the neighbors calling in seems to be working

ATVs and dirt bikes running around all summer are typical around my house, and snowmobiles in the winter. Just part of living in the country. They generally don't ride them after dark though, which would get annoying. Our master bedroom faces the front of the house, so we can hear any loud vehicles driving by when we're trying to sleep.

Lovely Stan. I look forward to sitting on the porch with my feet up on the rail and a cold one in my hand, telling stories.
The cigar store Indians are a custom made pair, all wood and different kinds. Priced at 5K for the pair. (A "I don't want to sell" price).

I can understand that if we live in the country
We live in town
Niagara Falls has a huge issue these days as well

Peter, that's the first signature I've ever seen color coded to the fleet.
