Things thatmake you go Hmmmm

I came back up to OKC this weekend and on the way back I saw a sign that said "Damaged Guard Rail' posted on the end of a guard rail. I wondered if you were crashing they expected you to dodge that damaged guard rail or hold off your crash for the next undamaged one. BTW, I didn't see any damage.

Maybe the sign was misspelled . . ? Perhaps it was meant to say "Damage Guard Rail" as an invitation to passing motorists?

For some reason, this reminds me of those "This Page Left Blank Intentionally" sheets that sometimes print when you are printing one long file or another.
Every time I see one of those sheets I think, "No it wasn't...."

I'm with you! I've always wondered what difference it makes that the guardrail is damaged.

Always seems a surplus of funds in the Road Sign Department.

I'll bet the signs on the guardrail are there to let the roving, nocturnal, tribes of guardrail repair elves know that their repair services are needed at that location . . .

Peeps assume guardrails are there to protect. The signs are the state's way of saying uh, not necessarily, so kindly have a wreck elsewhere.

[Just the facts]

I took this picture a few months ago.

As in: Don't think you can hold the city, county, or whoever, liable for lack of warning signage.

I tried to fight a parking ticket with a sign that was very similar.

I lost.

That's hilarious!!!!!!

Harrah, Oklahoma

Harrah, Oklahoma

Does that make Harrah walkable? or do the police drive to the donut shop?

[kelroy55]

and another thing that makes me go Hmmmmm

It seems to me that people I see parking in a handicap spot are either:

1. Elderly or truely handicapped.
2. Look to be in better shape and walk better than I do.
3. Too big and fat to make it farter than 3 parking spaces from the door of the business.

By the side of Highway 71, South of Kansas City, Missouri:


Home of The Peculiar Police Department, The Peculiar Methodist Church and Peculiar Donut Shop.

Just south of Peculiar, MO, there is a barn and a couple of old silos with trees growing out of them.

No kidding.

The one on the right is the one outside of Peculiar City Limits, proper . . .


I can't find the picture of the barn with the massive tree growing out of the hayloft adjacent to the silo trees.

Made me go Hmmmmm . . .

[RadicalModerate]

Does that make Harrah walkable? or do the police drive to the donut shop?

From the lack of cars in the photo, I think it is safe to say that all parking spots are reserved for emergency vehicles.

Antlers, Oklahoma


The "Hmmm" moment part? No antlers on this thing.
I'd bet this guy (Bill? could his name be "Bill"?) sells one hell of a lot of Auto Glass . . .
for Antlers anyways . . .

Vian, Oklahoma

Abandoned Motel:


Hmmmm (I thought to myself) . . . Why is it abandoned?
Maybe because it's supposed to be La Siesta?

Could it be the lack of authentic Dairy Queens within easy walking distance?


Or could it be something deeper . . . and more "sinister" . . . ?


None of that should be taken as a serious slam against the fine folks of Vian.
I liked Vian. It's a nice, little, country town off the beaten path, on the old highway, not far from The Interstate.

Hmmm . . . =)

Now, imagine the challenges faced by the fine folks in Pink, OK. =)
Same stuff . . . Different road . . . (Highway 9, yet another route to some of the best parts of Oklahoma.) =)

At least here in OKC [THEY] seem to have paid at least a bit of attention to my suggestion for better traffic flow in the vicinity of Memorial and Meridian, as evidenced by the placing of "vehicle tracking strips" to count cars (at least according to my sweet wife) . . . And that's one reason why OKC still has "a small town feel" and still makes me go "Hmmmm . . . there's hope for us yet . . ." =)

Sorry. I digressed. This is about "guardrail signage". Please accept my apology.

Dang. (my standby alternative to Hmmmmm? =)

Its so that you crash into the guy in front of you while reading the "Damaged Guard Rail". Hey at least you avoided further damaging the guard rail. Also, it makes it easier for the next road crew to find the damaged guard rail. lol

[Just the facts]

There are some things that should have to be said. I saw a sign on a chain-link fence around a pit in Medicine Park that read, "Open Pit Raw Sewage Lagoon - No Swimming or Fishing". Why would they even have to add that second part unless they caught people swimming and fishing in it?

Now, imagine the challenges faced by the fine folks in Pink, OK. =)

There are over 2,000 people living in Pink, OK

Citizens must adjust for altitude for water bath canning.

Pink isn't pink but is but is east of Norman, OK
