Garuda: A Guardian Spirit

This carving is, say, 4 feet wide and 3 feet high. It's from Bali, but hangs on an outside wall a couple of blocks from me. It's a guardian spirit. That's why it looks so fierce, to scare evil away:

There are situations where this is good advice:

In my experience such experiences rarely happen in cyberspace. But who knows what'll become of cyberspace when the Glorious GNF goes off. Gotta' be prepared.

Whoops:

Looks like they didn't have a garuda and someone failed to lift the plow.

The plow driver obviously didn't get the message. It is most important to leave it WITH the bottle not IN the bottle. And if the scotch is too young, the plow tends to bounce more, so make sure it is at least 10 years old.
