The following arrangement was spotted in Furnald—which may we puh-lease just emphasize is NOT Carman—this past weekend. We’ve got to hand it to the guy who made this sign: you’ve done excellent work with the shading on the giant arrow.

Yesterday we joined our country to remember the events of September 11, 2001. Bwog was impressed, inspired, and engaged by media coverage of the 10-year anniversary.

At 3:05am, the comment below from “Anonymous” appeared on our nickname contest post. Soon after, Dean Valentini (unsolicited) confirmed in an e-mail to Bwog that this comment is authentic and the offer genuine. Yes, this really is the Dean posting.
