In response to my previous post, Anthony Gaenzle writes:

Seriously you have that much time on your hands that you have to belittle aspiring artists. Yes, their work may be subpar, but ask yourself, are you published? I mean, if you were making a living off of your writing you probably wouldn’t be bothering to badmouth […]

After many months’ hiatus, I finally have something to complain about, and where else would be a better place than here?

I live near Armwood High School, so I drive past it every morning on my way to USF. It seems they have changed their sign since Thursday:
