Rooster This Chanticleer Rooster apparently had a run-in with an intoxicated customer who attempted to ride him (according to the waitress).  The rooster looks as though it had also become somewhat rusty and today he is catching snowflakes. Flurries began while taking this shot as temps were below freezing.

We must have some powerful rain here to eat away the paint finish.  Not sure this piece of metal can be restored.
