It's been a while since anybody brought up the topic of road signs here.

Here's a link to D.E.Knuth's web page on his collection of images: Diamond Signs and, of course, Chris Wheeler's contribution: "The Great American Road Sign Project"
I particularly like the Aussie sign of the person having a close encounter. A bit surprised at the bikini bottom though - thought Aussies swam starkers.
Best wishes, Hans

I Felt, OK about this sign.

At least it wasn't Felt, ME :)
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me. http://www.hq4thmarinescomm.com[^]

There's the same sign between Wickenburg and Wickieup, AZ. And sure enough, there's really a table sitting there. Right, it's 120°F in the shade, not a breath of wind, and I'm going to get out of my air conditioned truck for a nice, relaxing picnic... :doh:

:laugh: :laugh: Thanks for that! I'm surprised that PETA hasn't burned the place to the ground.

aside from eating at that restaurant is there anything interesting to do in the Saskatoon area?

Yep, Snowball fights. snowball-fight[^] I lived out there for a bunch of years. The wind would blow so G..D... hard, the only thing that slowed it down was North Dakota.

figures; it doesn't appear to be on the way to anything either short of driving to Alaska; and while that would be an interesting trip finite vacation periods at work would make doing it somewhat difficult. :sigh:

Not sure about that, I think a driving trip to Alaska would be interesting, as long as you make the jump off point in the right place (Northern B.C?). A friend of mine who lived in Inuvik for a couple of years, told me that they drove the Dempster Highway to Dawson Creek or Whitehorse (can't recall), and went through a set of tires! :( The trip across the prairies is flat, generally boring and takes a couple of days. (flame suit on) When you can see a rain shower from an hour or so away, you know it's flat! After over a half dozen trips out there due to family (over the years), we could count on 3 long days (12+ hrs) from central Ontario to Calgary, each direction. Ken

Flying halfway across the country to drive the other half of the way (I live in western PA) strikes me as rather silly. It's a ~4k mile drive to anchorage which is about a week of driving; probably closer to two once some touristy stuff along the way is added in. That's easier said than done while having a job; and while without the money for that sort of trip is a challenge of its own.

:omg: The roads were that bad? Even with cheap (or winter) tires that's at least 10x normal wear.

True enough. Those drives across the country burned my vacation time at a high rate, never mind after the drive, you needed a vacation to recover. (6 days on the road, makes a sore ....). Best saved for retirement.

Yeah, but short of winning the lotto (which would be doubly impressive since I don't play) that's at least 35-40 years out; probably longer if they push social security benefit dates again to keep it solvent.
