Deflated Santa 150/365

This deflated inflatable Santa looks like he is just awakening from a nap!

The One That Got Away: Seen Today: A taxicab with a lone passenger in the back and a live Christmas tree tied to the roof. You gotta admit, it takes guts to hail a cab while wrestling a Christmas tree to the curb! On the other hand, maybe the cabbie is the one with the guts! Wonder if he got an extra fare for the passenger on the roof?
Today's News: 5,000 flights are canceled and hundreds of thousands of travelers are stranded in airports all over the country due to a crippling blizzard on the East Coast. Prediction: Some may not make their destination in time for Christmas.
Today in History: 1973 - Bobby Darin (born Walden Robert Cassotto in 1936 in the Bronx) died at the age of 37 in LA from complications of blood poisoning after failing to take antibiotics before a dental visit which resulted in damage to his already weakened heart. He is best known for recording such hits as Mack the Knife, Dream Lover, Splish Splash, Somewhere Beyond the Sea, and, of course, for his stormy marriage to teen idol Sandra Dee.

That is so cute. I always hesitate to turn ours off because they get covered in snow and ice and can't re-inflate.

Would have loved to see the Christmas tree on the taxi. Don't ya just hate missing a good one.
