There is a lot of scary innovation lurking about in our neighbourhood woodlands -- I spotted this one while hunting more local sites for the SBP site-cloud and just couldn't resist sharing the find. This is just, like, really too scary ... and such a really good idea too :)

Introducing the Four Season Shoe and Boot Dryer by our good friends down at the Caframo plant. The first question I have is what sort of an evil genius mind would dream up such a thing; my second question is how we could possibly live in this part of the world for so very long and not already invent it. Those of you visiting the SBP from southern climes may have some trouble figuring out what it is and why we'd all really want one, but folks from around here will know exactly why.

... and it's not just to frighten the cat.
