Jesse – sorry this isn’t on topic, but I coudn’t help myself: Seeing that side link referring to motor homes got me a little frustrated so, being in the UK myself, I’ve dropped them a line and I will follow it up.
On topic: I love the fact that it’s your child who’s looking at the electric fence sign and not you. It adds an extra fun element to the picture. Thanks for the laugh.

@Mark, thanks for dropping those guys a line. I contacted the owner months ago, and they said they were going to take it down, but haven’t followed through as of yet. A little pressure from the design community might help :)
@Wayde… Ha! I was actually at the base of Grouse Mountain in Vancouver. We took a nice family ride up on the gondola, and then noticed a big pen of wolves on the way down.

I have to say that you look a lot like Steve Jobs in this picture, although we can only hope that he wears Kern sweatshirts on his vacations.

Can we assume that your wife is the one taking the picture and that she didn’t notice either? That would really make it hilarious.

I was just checking my traffic and noticed a weird spike in traffic a couple weeks ago. Looks like this photo was picked up by Reddit.com.
OlympicPirate called my bluff…
“Electric fences are not grids like that fence. That is the main fence. The electric fence is usually a single wire running behind the main fence. When there are signs they are often on the main fence.”
