Heavy lifting

This poor fella stands along south 12th Street, sort of an agricultural Atlas who refuses to shrug. I bet he’s cause some serious rubbernecking, though!

Hat tip to Brucellosis for featuring this on his blog. You beat me to the punch! I took some photos of this a while back but hadn’t posted them yet, and I’m glad I waited to catch him in the snow. It helps with the fact that the background’s pretty unappealing.

This is part of a political campaign display, and is accompanied by a sign for a hopeful candidate. His message: help keep District 30 strong! I’m not showing the sign, though…no free advertising. Especially considering that our three representatives down here are Republicans, so this challenger is presumably a socialist, I mean Democrat. Same difference.

I have since found out that Arnie Zent was vying for a Republican nomination for a vacated seat. My presumption was wrong, as is often the case. That drives home the old lesson: When you presume, you make a pre out of you and me!
