Ah. In that case, here’s a clearer picture of one of those billboards: [![](https://i2.wp.com/astrogypsies.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2023-03-07-008-1024x683.jpg?ssl=1) ](https://i2.wp.com/astrogypsies.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/2023-03-07-008-1024x683.jpg?ssl=1) ---

I once saw a sign in front of a church that said “DON’T THINK, PRAY”. I wish these people would make up their minds. ---

Outside of Springdale there is a billboard that reads “Where are you going, heaven or hell?” We always answer out loud, “Neither, we’re going to Leaning Cask Brewery” because that’s where we are en-route to. ---

I regularly see bumper stickers around here that say “Try God, 1060 AM” I once sprained my eyes I rolled them so hard. Recently I had the windshield replaced on my truck, and the guy that did it left my radio on 1060 AM. I don’t know why, but it really irritated me out of proportion. ---
