the lights are much brighter there

On my drive home tonight I couldn't help but notice a few classic examples of what a great little town I live in.

First up is the moose that stands proudly in front of Woodstock Gifts downtown. He's always appropriately dressed for each season, as you can see. This is his mummy impersonation, although I prefer the pair of red, white and blue boxers he pulls out for the 4th of July. I only wish this were in fact, a prank pulled by sophomores.

Next, how convenient! I was just wondering where I could find a magnet that doubles as jewelry...

And finally, I'm sure the chamber of commerce meant well, but... I wish they would just come out and tell us how they really feel.

And to think Lake City missed out on Governor Granholm's 'Cool City Initiative' funding? Frankly, I'm shocked.
