This old sign is a fading reminder that before the automobile and truck, deliveries in Butte were made by horse-drawn wagons, thus creating a large demand for services related to horse-drawn conveyance.

After missing the first two days of Texans training camp before agreeing to a five-year, $14 million contract Saturday, outside linebacker Brian Cushing is eager to get on the practice field today with his new teammates.
Cushing, the first-round draft choice from Southern California, is getting $10.435 million in guaranteed money to become the starter on the strong side and help improve a defense that ranked 22nd last season, including 23rd against the run.
“I’m just relieved and excited to have this done,” Cushing said. “I’m ready to play football and help the team win.”
Cushing (6-3, 262) was in Los Angeles when agent Tom Condon reached the agreement with general manager Rick Smith and director of football administration Chris Olsen.
Cushing’s contract could be worth a maximum of $18 million over five years.
In the fifth year of his deal, there’s a clause that could earn him an additional $4 million in an escalator bonus.
Odds are that Cushing’s contract will be extended before he enters the fifth season in 2013.
Smith and Olsen will have all eight of their draft choices under contract when the Texans take the field for the third day of two-a-day drills at their Methodist Training Center.
“It’s very important to have him signed,” coach Gary Kubiak said. “Rick and Chris were up at 3 in the morning trying to get it done. They’ve done a good job.
“Brian’s two days behind now, but he didn’t miss anything we did in the offseason program, so that’s a good thing. He wanted to be here while we were working on the contract, but he couldn’t.”
Rookies who have signed with the Texans report a week early for conditioning and meetings before practicing for the first time with the veterans. Cushing wanted to report with the rookies.
He was working out at Reliant Stadium last week when the Texans had to explain league rules that forced him to leave.
Cushing took what turned out to be a quick trip back to Los Angeles. He returned to Houston on Saturday afternoon.
Texans coaches are excited to get him on the practice field.
“We’re going to put the pads on (Sunday morning), and I know he’s chomping at the bit to get out there,” Kubiak said.
After the Texans used the 15th pick in the first round on Cushing, they inserted him into the starting lineup. He impressed his coaches in the organized team activities and minicamp.
“We like his presence on the ball,” Kubiak said, meaning Cushing has a knack for finding the ball and making plays. “He’s playing over the tight end, and we’re going to ask him to do a great deal. We think he can handle it.
“Brian’s very athletic. He’s physical against the run. He can rush the passer. He can drop into coverage. We brought him here for a reason, and we’re going to put him to work real fast.”
Frank Bush, who is in his first season as defensive coordinator, has to make calls that maximize Cushing’s strengths. The faster Cushing learns, the quicker Bush plans to utilize all his talent.
“We’re going to try to take advantage of all his talent,” Bush said. “Because he’s such a talented kid, there are a lot of things we can do with him.”
The coaches say they think Cushing has everything it takes to become a star at his position.
“Brian can turn and run with the tight end,” Bush said. “He’s big and strong enough to strike them at the line of scrimmage and nullify some of their speed down the field, so we’re comfortable with him in coverage.
“His ability also gives us a chance to be aggressive toward the quarterback. He’s a big guy who’s shown he can get there.”
Oakland Chinatown. I usually use the deepest feasible DOF, but this shot could have used a shallower DOF. Alas, f/2.5 on µ43...
I get to Oakland, and turns out the camera is out of battery charge, and I didn't bring a charger. So, I limited my subjects to signs.
I wished I had brought the R3; then I would have been able to pick up the batteries at the drugstore. But, then, I probably would have forgotten the film.

On the way to tadmur, Palmyra,Syria, august 2003
indimenticabili questi cartelli...
un paio di volte ho avuto la fortuna di far questa strada (la seconda sono stata meno fortunata) e mi rimane nel cuore.
La piu bella strada che io abbia mai percorso...
immersa nei suoi colori e nel suo silenzio.
Abbracciata all'infinito!

Touch-up of a photo I took earlier at Oaklawn Gardens in Germantown, Tennessee of an older school sign.
I collect photos of hand painted Greek signwriting. You never see anything like them in the UK - it's all anodyne corporate logos over here.
This sign still stands along 71 South just north of Columbus, Ohio. The Leaf Restaurant was a well known landmark to Ohio motorists and operated for several decades at 6022 State Route 95 in Mount Gilead. A Subway restaurant now occupies the site. The Subway cashier told me that The Leaf closed its doors about 4 years ago (2007).
I loved this old sign that we saw at the beginning of our walk to Padley Gorge, the Longshaw Estate and Froggatt Edge!
This was our first visit to the Peak District, and we were lucky enough to have a dry and sunny weekend. It was beautiful!
A sign marking the Yōnghé Gate (雍和門, 雍和门, Yōnghé Mén, དགའ་ལྡན་བྱིན་ཆགས་སྒོ་) at the Lama Temple (Yōnghé Gōng, 雍和宮), with what I think are (from right to left) Manchu, Chinese, Tibetan, and Mongolian writing. (dsc02783)
This ghost sign is on the same building as the Sweet Caporal Cigarettes ghost sign posted here recenrtly. I lucked out in being able to nab two quality ghost signs on the same building!

The Skipping Girl Sign or Skipping Girl Vinegar Sign, originally known as Little Audrey, is possibly the first animated neon sign in Australia, located off Victoria Street in the inner Melbourne suburb of Abbotsford. The sign shows an animation of a little girl playing with a skipping rope.
It was erected at the Nycander factory on 627 Victoria Street in 1936 to advertise Nycander Vinegar. The sign was removed in 1968 and a smaller replica was installed in 1970 at 651 Victoria Street and it now advertises "Skipping Girl" brand vinegar. The replica has been listed by the National Heritage Trust.

My kind of place, though we passed by when it was closed.
There are so many interesting signs "along the way" that attract our attention and/or grab our sense of humor. One that got away in Anacortes, Washington was a sign for Dynasty Chinese Restaurant, but each time we went by the "Dy" was shielded from our view by a very close power pole. You figure it out. Makes one wonder which came first, the power pole or the sign.
The sign endures on the north side of W. 35th Street It's been here at least since the mid-1950s, when I attended my first games there. It's all that remains in place from Comiskey Park.

The Bay Area has no Las Vegas sign boneyard, yet. Until then, at least we have Jim Rizzo’s Neon Works. Jim and his team of five staff members do a lot of the restoration and new sign production in the area. www.neonwks.com/
