Stop?!?!? Yeah, right....

My sign is "Next Rest Area 57 Miles".

I have no idea what that means, but it sounded funny when I was in the restroom.

On the subject of signs...

Evidently the company doesn't employ a spell-checker.

The Truckee Meadows has a history of misspelled signs -- including examples of school zones painted with the words "scool" and "shcool" on asphalt roadways.

Well, that finally answers the question, "Is our children learning?"

It's used as the young lady is walking by without yielding. Because there is only One Way.

And it's in a School Zone.




DAMMIT!

I mean, it's where there are Men Working.


SHIT, that's worse.

I mean it's where I Merge.

I have no idea what I mean by that.

One similar to one that amused me:



My all-time favorite, for some reason:

That ramp serves a very important purpose, if a truck has a brake failure going downhill. I think there ought to be more of an up-slope than there appears to be in that picture, for the ramp to do its job, though.

I think the point is that the truck would just keep going in this picture. Maybe it is giving the truckdriver a chance to jump out as it accelerates down hill. And then off the end of the ski jump.

Looks like whatever is at the end of the ramp is supposed to slow down the truck. Barrels of water maybe? I've seen many with sand or rocks at the end.

Or they can have the nets on them that stop the trucks, like the one they just built sort of near my house...it's not even an uphill incline at all, the nets supposedly stop the trucks.

The "pavement" that you see on the ramp is actually a deep layer of gravel. The truck will sink axle deep and slow down evenly as it tries to push through the gravel.

Here's a sign for somebody:

Some people in West Virginia might actually consider Cracker Barrel an attraction. (I recognize the state route sign design as that of West Virginia's, and I can also tell you that this picture was taken in Morgantown.)

Some people here in Kentucky certainly consider Cracker Barrel an attraction. I don't see why. I've eaten at a Cracker Barrel once before, many years ago. The food sucked.

It is indeed Morgantown, and I neglected to credit my friend Pete Zapadka for the photos. Thanks, Pete!

I dunno, I rather like Cracker Barrel's food, but I wouldn't consider it an attraction!

Maybe that dark spot behind the sign is residue from a burned couch?

This is one of my favorites.



Officer, I tried to Sotp but I didn't know how.
