Well, "paying attention" is a very broad thing, right?
Of course, any of those would be fine. A message especially aiming at motorcycle riders would give extra points!

Grab's yours.
That is a nice one - yeah, we are everywhere. Beware!

Tag on!




And again - 90% of my thoughts are in Japan.
I was not really productive at work today, because I can't concentrate... We have people from all over the world working here, including lits of Japanese and discussions about nuclear power, mother nature etc. are going on everywhere...
Sorry for the off-topic...

It seems most towns and cities here in the United States have small Veterans Memorials honoring the men and women that gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

Additional Pictures





One more



Please leave politics out of it and just take a moment and remember the men and woman the died protecting your country.

I will leave any political or other comment out for sure - BUT we had that Tag at least once before. I think even more than once.

Whatever. I will be out for this one again, 'cause we don't have anything like that over here.
Grab it quickly, please...

New tag......a cheese shop



In honor of St. Patrick's Day, I picked up some Irish cheese while I was there.



In case anyone was curious, The upper left is Coolea cheese, upper right is Cahill Porter ( made with Guinness) and on the bottom is Ardrahan cheese.

Cheese!
I guess I am obliged to grab this one, am I not?

Well then, here it is, taken 10 minutes ago in Monthey, the next "bigger" "town" (~4000 inhabitants I think).
That is a very nice little cheese store with a variety of mainly Swiss cheeses ("fromage = cheese). Great stuff. Of course now it was closed. Shops close at 18h30 over here.
(Sorry for the quality, my old little camera doesn't like to take photos in the dark...)







As I assume that this grab is OK and as I want you to have a chance to play on, while I go to bed , here is the new tag:





I want you to find a sign (or anything close to that) with the number 13 in it!

The photo is taken in front of a club that goes by the name of "13 stars club" (in French Club 13 étoiles).
The 13 stars are the major part of the coat of arms of the "Canton du Valais":



The "cantons" are the 26 federal states of Switzerland.
The 13 stars in the coat of arms of Valais stand for its 13 districts.

If you wanna learn more, ask me or have a look at the webpage of Valais: http://www.valais.ch/en/

Cheers!
