How Senior Are You?

We were out in Cottonwood, Arizona recently, and stopped are a colorful building of what looked like furniture and resale shops.  The overall design and display of items was very well done, with several different areas with densely rustic themes.  


Toward the back, there was this hilarious sign about senior discounts:


It was nearing the end of a long day, with over an hour of walking up and down hills up in Julian, at about 5500 feet altitude.  So we felt "antique".  I don't know why they added the Ripley's Believe It Or Not quote at the bottom.

We didn't find any items we needed, but we did enjoy the balance of goods on display and the huge design effort behind the whole place.

Take a Ball ... Heck, Take All of Them

At the dog park in Rancho Bernardo, there's this optimistic little box that says, "Take a Ball, Have a Ball."  That's a fun idea. There's even a little plea to think about other people.  "Leave a ball for your pals."  But what always happens is, people are more likely to take than give.  So boxes like these always end up empty and full of dust.

Yield Signs: Flow Chart Style?

  There are some yield signs around town whose appear to targeted at a very small audience: people who like to read flowcharts.  Sure, you can stand there and work out what they're trying to say, but I'm sure 99% of people who walk by just shrug and think "whatever". 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?
