CURB APPEAL?

Every so often I come upon something that leaves me scratching my head and wondering, “What were they thinking?” Such was the case recently when I drove past the house pictured above. Talk about curb appeal—NOT! Many people decorate their yards with bunting and flags for the Fourth of July, but I’ve never seen anyone celebrate with a life-sized replica of a T-Rex.

Maybe if it were Halloween, you could get away with a giant T-Rex skeleton as a lawn ornament, especially if was holding a Jack O’Lantern. It would certainly be something different from the typical ghosts and witches that dot the neighborhood in October. But Halloween is more than three months away.

There are some odd things that crop up in New Jersey from time to time. There’s even a magazine, Weird NJ, that chronicles them. I’m thinking this patriotic T-Rex should be added to the next edition.
