This was just too good not to share.

as long as you have a paddle, it shouldn’t be too bad…:wink:

And no holes in the Canoe

Does anyone know where this icon of historical proportions really is? With the palm trees there it must be south of the Mason Dixon line.

And then there’s this one supposedly

Also trying to use text in URL, if it doesn’t work here’s the actual link - https://www.flickr.com/photos/bestraft/193437259/

Why is the link icon grayed-out for me?

Dave, it is supposed to be in Louisiana, as it was originally posted on a Louisiana radio station’s web page. It was on the internet, so you know that you can believe it.

flickr doesn’t use a “jpg” format at the end.

Ken:

Thanks, but I didn’t include a a jpg extension knowingly, if that is what you mean.

I have apparently corrected it however, by removing the http prefix.

So, does anybody know why the link icon is grayed-out in both the Quick and normal reply? Is it something personal or is it that way for everyone?

It just shows that it’s a link…

I’m able to see an abandoned bridge over a creek.

Oh well…. As I look the Schitt creek photo over in Photoshop, I’m led to disappointment.

Two things lead me to believe it’s a fake. A good fake of a photo none the less.

One: If in fact it was real, How often would the road department be replacing stolen signs. After the tenth or so time, they would have high security hardware to hold it up. None there…

Two: Under enlargement and tweaking, what gives it away to me is the kerning is not correct on the spelling of Schitt on the top line, and is correct for the font for the creek part. To be that way, it would have had to have been typeset from two different kerning tables for the same font. Highly unlikely.

Still, I wish that I had thought of doing it first.

Steve, look at the caption below the abandoned bridge picture.

Hey Dave, I’ve got a bag of rivets for you to count. :slight_smile:

Why, Bill, is there sumpin special there? :slight_smile:

Curiously, while searching for Schitt Creek in Florida, I did come across this in Brevard County, Florida right next to the Correctional Center.

WWhhaaatttt? And none of the politically correcteness has squalled foul??

I wonder if that FL sign has a reflection on the diet served in the centre?
