One fine day on 13th Street.

And it was Thursday the 10th, not Friday the 13th.

The sign, of "council at large" vintage, appeared suddenly on the verge. Someone must have been cleaning out the garage, and thought it would be clever to frighten passing motorists.

I can attest to it startling a passing pedestrian (me), but as a friend noted when I asked whether England Doug will run for mayor yet again in 2015: As long as he has a pulse, that's what he'll be telling all and sundry, whether or not he actually does."
