Your comment originally got stuck in the spam filter, by the way, because of the use of the phrase “cocktail wieners.” Computers are still pretty stupid to not know that this was being used correctly in context, and not there to try to sell people enhancement drugs.
This one’s in front of St. Francis where, after many years, the DOT has yet to define which lane should merge into which when driving west.

I once ate a bunch of cocktail wieners at the Friends and Enemies of Wallace Stevens fundraiser.
Secret ingredient: grape jelly
