The New Hotness

  • Mysterious Warning Glyphs

    Found this on the hand-cranked reel that deployed an outdoor table umbrella in DC…

    Table Umbrella Cable Winch
    Table Umbrella Cable Winch

    I think you’re not supposed to:

    • Stand under something held by this cable
    • Use it for motive power (?)
    • Hang from it

    I think they’re violating the first warning, as the cable holds the umbrella open over your head. On the other paw, it’s not a monster dead weight, so maybe it’s OK.

    The food was pretty good.
