  Mio,

  Go a bit further down Cox Comb rd, just past Oakmont automotive and see this little golden house.

  

   

  Its barely visible in your photo.

  

  In Yancy's aerial view, the yellow sign overlays the little gold house as they line up nicely IMO.  The angle of the sun fully illuminates both the sign and the house.

  Oh, Sh.....azbot!

  Mr Yancy Sir, I can only be of the sincerest apologisables, my investigatories have been misconstructablised.

  Andyson (you thieving diamond smuggler you!), I did walk further down the street and I did see the house, but it was dark and it did not look gold at the time.  Thank you for making it so blatantly obvious that I was wrong.

  I apologize since it came across that way to you.  I should have made my point clear.

  You and Yancy are both right IMO.  The sign you found is indeed part of the "house of gold" Yancy spotted.  I've outlined it below in an enlargement from Yancy's photo on the first page of this thread.

  

   

  Now I need to go find that blue port-a-potty on Oak......

  Back to the subject of the thread, another clock photo:

  

  I think the time is 10:45.

  Subject, what subject?

  10:45 of a mornin'. Thanks for capturing that.

  That damned box advert, "Replay Spotlight" or some such nonsense, which I can no longer exit from (BTW, that was a little improvement that bugs the hell out of me), managed to block the clock (rhyme, badum-dum) when I replayed a similar shot.

  Thread, what thread?

  Ahhhhhh... but don't stop there, Andy!

  If you'd panned a smidge farther to the left, you'd have seen this:

  

  Within that "little house of gold" lived a local celebrity, of sorts... "Pudgie Wudgie the Cat". Not your everyday, run-of-the-mill, "normal" cat! A "para-normal" feline, if you will. As anyone who's ever driven by it has witnessed, he even had his own sign to alert drivers in case he was in the mood for a quick round at the course across the street. It's still there to this day. 

  

  It get's even stranger...

  The 23lb Pudgie Wudgie loved to dress-up in more than 200 different outfits that his owner had made for him... this one is now an exibit in the Pittsburgh Sports Museum:

  

   AND... Pudgie Wudgie was so well-loved, in addition to the many local appearances he made at various pet shelters (he was a "saved cat"), he was on David Letterman, the Maury Povich show, AND he was even featured in a 1997 story in THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER!

  Strange... but true!
