He he... good one!
I love this effect here, like the one in your earlier photo. Reflections on the wet road are great!
Its really nice how the red, the white, the yellow gradually mix in that dark road.

Love these early-morning streetshots of yours. The reflections in the wet highway and the call of those signs really make this special.

A great night shot Ron, I love the warm welcoming light from the building and the way the coloured lights bathe the wet street with the same welcoming glow.

Great night shot. Once again I think the wet pavement only adds to the photo reflecting the lighting so well. Make sure you watch for traffic from behind, standing there in the middle of the road.

So cool night shot with beautiful reflections on the wet road.
Does "fewer carbs" mean low calories?

@Wysterior: Fewer carbs refers to carbohydrates, which a lot of Americans who are dieting or watching their weight "count" like calories. So, while it doesn't literally mean low calories, it does in a round-about-way equate to a better option for those who are watching their weight. Watching one's intake of carbohydrates became the "in" thing with the South Beach Diet several years back: the concept is to eliminate "simple" carbs (sugars) from your diet, which are metabolized much faster, in favor of "complex" carbohydrates (such as grains that are higher in fiber), which are metabolized slower and, therefore, provide a better source of fuel for the human body.
