Not Much of a Movie

We still try to get out and see a movie every other month or so.  The new crazy way the theaters work has the one perk that we can check right before the show to see how empty the theater is -- if there are more than a handful of people we just give up.  Don't need the germs.  And the near-private screenings are very nice.

I don't even remember what movie we saw last month, but I don't think this sign made it any easier:

I Live Downstream

At many storm drains in our area (San Diego County) there are these cute template graphics trying to get people to stop dumping crap down our drains.  They say "No Dumping - I Live Downstream" (more or less) and with have cute outlines of fish or dolphins.  I always enjoy seeing these, they add a nice human "caring" touch to otherwise drab bits of concrete.  Here is one a drain where I work which has two different graphics, one sprayed on and one engraved: In my mind I thought it was a fish and a dolphin, but looking at the photo now, it's a swordfish and a duck.

I don't know if they bug me because they're trying to be too clever, or too dense.  Maybe they just remind me of work.

Lost Remote?

Image
  Here's a fun sign.  Someone lost their remote control for some kind of "machine".  The sign was there for about 3 weeks before some major construction began, so I walked back over and got a picture of the sign surrounded by machinery.  I doubt that any of those trucks are remotely controlled, so the sign and the machines are probably unrelated.  There's just a lot happening on this corner. Yesterday, the sign was gone but judging from this new sign, the construction is going to continue for another month.  Note that June 31 is not a real date, so does that mean they don't have an actual completion date in mind?
