Tire Man, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK!

Deustch Marque BMW and Mercedes Specialist's Service Center features a wonderful monster man made of tires! We went out of our way for this one--all the way to Scotland. Somehow we never got around to Loch Ness or its monster! Crazy, right?

I love him. His legs are about five feet tall!

Christmas, MI

In honor of the rare winter event, a snow day, an early present:A small town in Northern Michigan is called Christmas! And they are short on the quality souvenirs, in spite of what you see here! At any rate, the town takes its name seriously enough to have an adorable motel and a cute gift shop. They need more ornaments, is all I'm saying!

On the roof of the hotel! It's Santa and his reindeer!

At the souvenir shop, Mrs. Claus welcomes you!

I LOVE this Santa. He's such a fun party guy, isn't he? He's rockin'!
