There is actually another one in a small town about 20 miles east of this 
one. It is an Indian (Native American) wearing buckskin pants and a 
feathered bonnet, rather than a white guy in workman's clothes. I 
photographed it a while back but haven't gotten it edited yet. I'm way 
behind in my work, as you probably guessed from the fact that the one I just 
posted was shot two years ago ?

    Nice and droll. A touch of Americana that I was never aware of.
