One label says: "...Pre and Post Milking Iodine...for Dairy Cows"

Wait . . . what?

More jumbled numbers

Only rain, please.

That means no used motor oil, cigarette butts, urine, spit, etc.

There's a message here somewhere.

Always check your order before you get home.

This Dunkin order was supposed to be for a sweet black pepper bacon breakfast sandwich on a croissant, and a cream-filled donut.

Traffic was backed up through town for about four hours last Monday, due to a vehicle accident on Route 30 in York County.

Although most drivers patiently endured the situation, some resorted to cursing and horn blowing.

On Thursday, the bridge inspectors were out again, possibly due to the weight of Monday's traffic backup, in which many vehicles were stuck on the bridge, or were moving very slowly.

GONE! Universal Techs at 4th & Chestnut

The left wing might be out of blinker fluid.

The sky is a hazy shade of winter.

Coming soon: a sign that'll say "Coming Soon" or something similar.
