Dom’s Creamery
Dommmm-dom-dom-Domp! Dom's Creamery, Avon July 2022 The way things are trending, Avon might be renamed Dom at some point.

World’s Tallest Uncle Sam
MAGA World's Tallest Uncle Sam, Danbury August 2022 The funniest thing to me about this incongruous giant Uncle Sam is that it's not the "world's tallest" because there's another 38-foot tall Uncle Sam in Michigan as I write.
