A fence on the streets?

[August]

I just picked up one of these in the Bargain Cave at the Cabelas up in Maine for $50 bucks.



The luminescent dots on the numbers 1, 2 and 3 had fallen off...

Where do you live then?....Sherwood Forest?

Up North if you can tell them the time they know you've been educated and probably have a job and therefore a bit money in your pocket....they simply beat you to the ground and rifle yer pockets

It has happened.

GAAAAAH that would drive me crazy.

We had a cheap plastic wall clock in my office at work with hands but no numbers on it. It drove us crazy, especially when it came to discerning at a glance the difference between almost 4:30 (time to pack it up and go home, yay!) and almost 3:30 (another hour? *groan*).

I finally got fed up and painted numbers on it with White-Out one day.
