Signs

It's that time of the year here in MN where all of the road signs accumulate a heavy dose of frost overnight. For those of you who live is Southern states, you probably haven't experienced the annoyance of driving down the road at night and not being able to read the signs.

Well, I tend to not pay attention to signs anyway and have been known to miss a turn now and then...at least until I've made the trip a couple times. But since I drive the 30 or so miles between jobs twice a night and have done so for 3 years now, (I really need to replace the subwoofer in the Cadillac. And the tires. Then it'll be good for winter driving.) I have no need to follow the signs as the cars know the way well enough to let me take short naps while driving past small towns and over small animals. (This was an attempt at humor and I don't do either of these. Intentionally.) :)

So as I was driving down the road and noticing that the reflectiveness of all of the signs was seriously diminished by the frost build-up, it came to me that I should go buy some non-stick cooking spray and stop and draw smiley faces, peace signs, and little flowers, and write "I *heart* Chad" on various signs that I pass on the way home in the morning.

Who knows? Maybe the frost won't stick! And it can't be considered destruction of property as it's clear!

Welcome to Highway 23 from Marshall to Granite Falls, my personal morning ego boost! :)
