Signs that inform you about signs.

There are these new signs outside Fincastle that warn you that there is a 45 mile per hour zone ahead. Is it just me or isn't that what the 45 MPH signs are supposed to tell us? Wouldn't it be cheaper just to move the existing signs 100 feet out to where the new signs are if people are not slowing down in time.

Perhaps people don't notice the 45 MPH signs, maybe that's why they put up the signs pointing them out. It would be better to redesign the signs that people don't notice or else we are going to end up with two sets of signs for every situation.

Where does this end? If people don't slow down enough now are we going to have signs stating that there are signs ahead warning us that there will be a speed limit decrease after that? Or a sign warning us of a sign warning us of a sign warning us of a sign? You get the idea.

I know, let's just give tickets to those who exceed the speed limit! Wait, we do that already.

Just confused by our highway department putting up signs about signs in the middle of a huge economic downturn.

People of Murray Street now raise their ugly head.

Just got a letter from the people of Murray Street...guess they moved from Roanoke Street. The letter said I should trim my bushes, That seems a bit personal, my bushes and the amount they are trimmed is best left to me. Also that I should clean up the mess. We recently put the house on the market so the mess was pretty much tidied up. One one have to assume that the person or creature writing these missives must be a clean and tidy freak of some sort, beyond the obvious matter that they are frigging' crazy! I was starting to take these personal but after showing the letter to some of my neighbors, they allowed as to the fact they had received some as well. So I guess psycho letter writer has several targets. So just to be clear, we won't be making any changes to our bush trimming.

Butt headed people who make everything political!

Both sides do it. Conservatives and liberals like to jump to conclusions that they think makes some stupid point of their political agenda. Today lots of crass liberals are basically saying that Sarah Palin killed the congresswoman in Arizona because there's a web site with the congresswoman's head in gun sites. These are the same liberals who laughed at this: Or this: These are ok but Palin's cause deaths! Somehow they missed the report that the shooter's my space page states that he was a big fan of the communist manifesto which would align him more with Obama than Palin.

Gun haters with non-logical arguments

So one of my friends went off today on the Virginia law to allow concealed weapons permit holders to go to a restaurant that serves alcohol with their weapon as long as they don't drink. He smirked as he comment that people only go to bars to drink...therefore it's a stupid law. Right now in Virginia people can open carry in a bar and drink...that seems stupider. He just doesn't get that there are lots of people carrying guns in bars right now, most of them bad and he has no idea that they are carrying guns. The main reason this is a good idea is that people, myself included, sometimes want to have lunch or dinner in a place that serves alcohol and not have a drink, but not give up our right to protect ourselves. Some may say that that is what the police are for. Well, I'm not sure who said it, but, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away! We would also rather not leave our firearms in our vehicles while we eat as they could be stolen. The second amendment...
