We camped at Green River, Utah while exploring Sego Canyon and the San Rafael Swell. The city is one of those places in the desert that is barely hanging on, and the signs around town tell the story.
A sign on a bike rack. Vermont Ave NW, north of H St, Washington, DC.
The sign says: This rack was placed here for your use (duh!) by the District of Columbia (who cares!) government (as opposed to--?). However, the District is not responsible for theft of or damage to bicycles parked in this rack.
Nokia. Connecting People. Even in Fiji. Apparently.

It happened suddenly. The weather hopped up 10 degrees, maybe as much as 15 degrees between one day and the next, and spring arrived.
The first week of March was cool- in the 40's and 50's (that's between 4 and 12 degrees C). By the second week we were hitting the mid 60's (17C) to low 70's (22C).
Spring is here. We'll ride the rollercoaster of temperatures between the mid 50's to mid 70's over the next month, before gradually evening out into our summer temps by the end of April, but in the meantime, we are going to enjoy the progress of spring.
I have already seen my first crocus- hidden down in the woods and discovered by the kids. In some parts of the neighbourhood, daffodils are blooming- while they remain stubby leaves in my beds right now. My Hyacinths are ready to put forth flowers, though they will never be the showy blooms we got that first year (apparently that is perfectly normal, though I do wonder why).
So on a warm, but overcast day, I sat outside and drew some signs of spring.
I do it every year now.
A year ago, the crocus and daffodils were out and our neighbour's Bradford Pear was in blossom I have the pictures to prove it.
2 years ago I have pictures of me doing the gardening :) I didn't have a scanner then, so I have to actually look at my journals :) According to those, we first got into the garden in mid February and by this time in March, the trees were all blossoming and the henbit was out. So you can tell we have had a longer winter this year!!
In my picture, you can see the wild speedwell (the cultivated is not yet blossoming), purple deadnettle (Lamium purpureum), daffodil leaves and Pennsylvania Bittercress (Cardamine pensylvanica).

Just had to take a picture of this sign on a motel in Maggie Valley, NC, USA. Haven;'t been around much due to recently moving.
The Argus (1846 - 1957) 'Popular Daily', The Weekly Times (1869 - present) '60 Pages 3d Illustrated', The Age (1854 - present) '120980 Daily', The Leader (1889 - present) 3d, 56 Pages. The advertisement is attributed to 'I.Grinter J.Bradley Signwriters 7877559 8763010'. This is located in Caulfield East, on the side of the newsagent, within the walkway, heading towards Caulfield Plaza.
The left-hand side of the advertisement, appears to be painted more recently than the right-hand side. It appears to be a nostalgic reproduction of the signs of the past. If it were not a reproduction the right-hand side were original, it would have to be painted before 1966 when the currency changed from pennies to cents and left-hand side - which looks like a fresh coat within the last ten years - would have to be painted before 1957, so it's very unlikely.
If Scooby Do is from Ipswich, I guess that means Shaggy lives here to. But what about Freddie Jones, Daphne Blake, and Velma Dinkley? Are they all local people?
No men with ugly bums allowed? (Inspired by Kate who's assembling a set of odd signs from hereabouts.)
On a wall in Vinales. Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Disembarkation of the 'Granma'. This was a boat that brought Fidel Castro and his brother, Raul, Che Guevara and 79 other revoltionaries, from Mexico to south-eastern Cuba, 1956. There they were pursued by government troops and only a dozen made it to the Sierra Muestre mountains. This was the sanctuary from which these few launched their successful overthrow of the Batista regime.
The vessel can be seen in the Museum of the Revolution (former presidential palace) in Havana.
