Signs

Today I finally had about an hour or so to myself and so I went for a quick ride. I rode up El Toro road to Trabuco Caynon rd. Trabuco is a pretty cool road, despite being too short. But I didn't have a lot time, so it would do. Anyways there is a part on the road where both sides are thick with trees and they grow over the road creating a tree tunnel. It's pretty cool to ride thru.

Now I'm not sure if we are just getting too smart for our own good or the guy that makes signs gets paid by the letter. There is a sign there that says "Impaired Vertical Clearance". I guess a sign that says "Low Branches" would be just too easy for people to understand. Now I'm all for literacy and education. But when you can't call something what it is, either because it is no longer Politically Correct or you are deathly afraid of hurting someones feelings. In this case, the hyper sensitive trees. What is America coming to? (Don't answer that, Denny)

So instead, I say lets just stick with the picture signs. If done right, I think they can be informational as well as funny. Here is a sign that I propose for those low hanging sensitive trees.



So when Stiles is surfing on top of the Teen Wolfmobile, he will know that he should watch out for the branches.
