The Next Window Holiday

Around the neighborhood, we have gone from holiday windows to V-Day windows. Here are just a few examples, taken on my way home from the gym. People really do seem to spend time on these.

Later, we all went to Lucky Strikes for a fare thee well hurrah and I had the lowest score, mainly because I can't throw the ball without spinning it or thunking it directly into the gutter.
