is that paint or blood they’re using on the sign?

“Keep a moving Dan,

Don’t you listen to him Dan

He’s a Devil not a man,

And he fills the burning sand with water,

Cool, clear water.”

reminds me of a poster from my high school days.two buzzards sitting on a branch. one says to the other, “Patience he11, I’m going to kill something.”

It may as well be 1000 miles.

Dam vultures!

Pretty good paint job, if you ask me.

Doesn’t seem like their up to a 100 mile dash.

Must be govt. vultures, they just raised the doubt ceiling…

Or business vultures hoping someone will work for nothing, Froggy. Like hiring illegals for a lawn business.

Or lying in advertising.

Or about how bad things are and how they want to save the country so they can get bailed out.

Actually, considering the cartoon, it’s more likely no. 2.

Little rascals! Messing with the sign for a free meal. Harrrrumph!.Only face I can see is the one on the sign post. Either Thom is playing with us, or I need new contacts.

For those who don’t know of/ remember the Sons of the Pioneers.Could be the fickle finger of fate sticking up on the horizon there.

They are fowl animals those vultures.

Cool, clear post, Larry.

lol – almost spit out my lunch

Cruel, cruel, no water!

Hmm—I wonder if that water is beyond that second face-shaped rock, or over the horizon between the low hill and the big one with the long, crooked nose? If it’s really only one mile, I’d vote for the closer one.

OTOH, I wonder how much the guy with the water is selling it for?

.

I’m reminded of the fellow crawling through the desert who comes by a guy selling ties. He asks whether he has any water; nope—only ties for a buck each. “I’m sure not going to give you a buck for something a useless as a tie!” he explodes. So he crawls on.

Abut ten miles later, he comes across a restaurant—and they won’t let him in without a tie. . . .

That’s a mean trick! That river bed goes right over the ridge. there’s likely a lake there. Mean old vultures!
