Over the holidays, I traveled to Eureka California, which is known for their restored Victorian-style buildings, one of which has been named, “The Pink Lady.”

(The Pink Lady in cocktail lore is a drink that… oh, here, look it up yourself; you’re just browsing the internet right now anyway, right?).

While taking photos, I spotted the scrawl of some possibly holiday-minded misted-window graffiti artist, and thought it might make a nice benediction for the upcoming year.

Unfortunately, either the artist got distracted (is that possibly a botched Fantastic Four logo?), the upcoming year will decidedly not be happy, or perhaps the Pink Lady herself is trying to tell us — (or maybe NOT tell us) — something.

I wasn’t brave enough to jump the chain to see if the third window contained the answer. (The employees in the law firm across the street definitely had their eyes on me…)

Anyway, you decide:

Whatever you conclude, Campfire Tales wishes you a Happy New Year!

Out with the old,

In with the new.

Cheers from me,

Here’s to you!
