Is there a technical term for the addition of snow to letters, as seen in this Christmas Eve issue of Smash! (1966). A kind of visual onomatopoeia, seen (e.g.) on signs for 'ICE COLD DRINKS' or in the addition of flames to labels for RED HOT sauces.

Just deployed #FoxiMax version 2.
You might notice from game # 1175 onwards that the word balance is changed. Plurals will be fewer, for example. This should make the challenge more consistent.

The Goddess of Victory, Nike, my bonfire sculpture for this years East Hoathly's Carnival.
This stunning photo of the bonfire is by Jim Holden.
She burns tomorrow, the culmination of our evening at around 10pm. Roads shut to the village at 5pm, so get here then if you'd like to watch it burn.

I hope people spend days and days talking about her (she is 10,000,000 times more important than Charlie Kirk) and the amazing work she did.
This photo will always be so powerful and as defining of who we all can be.
Be like Jane Goodall.
