"donkey". Jesus rode into town on a donkey... so he wouldn't have hurt his feet on the cookies. I wasn’t going to comment, but then I noticed my captcha word… “donkey”.

Some of them had little donut-shaped cookies tied to them. No doubt that's from the bible, too. I hope Jesus didn't hurt his bare feet on the cookies.

Big rusty bollards all around! We happened to be driving past the church here as the congregation streamed out yesterday, and they all had long branches of what looked like either olive or laurel (aka <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/isogloss/2124160141/" rel="nofollow">bay</a>) leaves. While I'm aware that both of these have their classic positive associations, I don't understand why they were subbing in for palms. It's not like we don't have palm trees here. Anyone?
