here we are now going to the south side
I saw this the other morning on my way to work – the light was good, sort of bouncing around the V-shape of the sign but I was camera-less. I went back the next morning to get a photo, but there was a guy on a riding lawnmower, cutting down all the tall grass that I’d liked the day before. On the third day*, I went back and this time the sprinklers were going, but I braved the elements to get the shot.
Now that I see it, though, I am not sure it was worth the effort.

*Yes, I do crack myself up. Thanks for asking.
the preparation
The cheerleaders were getting ready for the dunking booth.
I think those things would be a lot more fun if they’d let you pick who sits on the platform waiting to land in the water. Apparently, however, that’s “not how it works” so they missed out on my interesting list of participants.
