I am surprised the ultra lefty Cary morons would let you have decorations in your yard.

One need not be leftist to abjure inflatable “decorations”. I utterly despise the things. They looks like garbage strewn across the lawns when deflated during the day, and tasteless and garish in their fullness.

Wow. Feel that strongly? I busy my mind with more weighty things, like how the period should be before the quotation mark in your post, not after.
Jk. Different strokes for different folks

Different strokes for different folksPeriods are the preferred punctuation for closing aphorisms, since you feel so strongly. How you busy yourself, with stroking and all, is your business.
