Now you are really making me feel bad Barry. I too, have seen this multiple times driving through this section of town. I haven't snapped the shutter yet to capture this point in time.
The owners may be able to laugh about it one day. They appear to have a sense of humor after receiving so much damage from Hurricane Ike.
Good job on making such a visual statement with your photography.

Thanks Doug! Glad you like it!
I hope the owners have a great sense of humor and lots of the right kinds of insurance coverage!
Cheers!
Barry
