The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for December 24, 2020

That is one tall sign!

“Roger.” “Huh?” “Over.” “Huh?”

I’m glad there’s a sign. Now the reindeer know where to cross the airways.

Pull up! Pull up!

Look for the red warning light!

“I heard a rumor that there’s a jumping cow out here too somewhere”

Where’s Sully when you need him?

Here in Montana signs posted deer next x number of miles. Deer can’t read because they come across highway before and after signs warning.

Peeled eyes. That sounds disgusting.

Is that a blinking red radio tower light? Or…

Looks like they’ll soon be seeing rain deer!

That’s not a good sign, unless that sign is at 20,000 feet.

“Rudolph to Santa, pull up, pull up!!!…..wave off wave off!!!…..eject eject!!!!

NORAD is tracking Santa in the sky.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Far Side

Rudolf the Red-Nosed Reindeer, dead at 53. Over Barcelona today, the famed reindeer was hit by a flock of seagulls and a 747. Eyewitnesses report, that the reindeer in Spain was hit mainly by the plane.

And turn off that damned announcement, “PULL UP — PULL UP — PULL UP….”

I hate these red nose flights.

There are airports that have to send out a runway observer before each flight to make sure the wildlife are not on the runway before take offs/landings. Recently a 737 hit a bear who accessed the runway after the check. Mangled the multimillion dollar engine. Wasn’t a good day for the bear either.

A gentle note; if you do hit something out there, you’re going to piss-off a lot of kids. ;)

Just half an hour ago, I saw a dead deer alongside the road. Sad.
