How about a companion thread to the “Today in Nature I Saw ” thread?
I’ll start:
A bit of archeology.
I didn’t spontaneously encounter this sticker in the wild; I’m the one who stuck it there. But I hope some other folks encountered it and it made them smile (or pissed them off). Probably it’s been removed by now.
Apropos of that, I saw this when walking the Little Dog yesterday:
The sign reads:
This is not a construction site! This is art!
I agree.
I don’t have pix, but here are two recent sightings I enjoyed and posted elsewhere:
We’re all familiar with truck nuts. So dumb. The other day out driving I saw something odd hanging from a pickup’s trailer hitch area. Two weird dangly things. I was far enough away I couldn’t quite tell what I was seeing.
I finally got close enough at a traffic light. Two opaque blue things hanging that looked about like 7-11 Big Gulp cups: 6-8" tall, a narrow tapered part ~3" in diameter then a step to a larger ~5" diameter section and open at the top. With about 4 thin brightly colored tubular things leading out of the opening and up to wherever they attached to the truck’s hitch.
Yep. Truck wire nuts. I had to laugh. Not exactly these, but close: Wire Nut Truck Nuts - Etsy
A couple weeks ago I saw something on the back of a car that looked from a distance like a campaign bumper sticker. Background was three wide horizontal stripes in bright blue / red / blue pattern. The writing was white letters and included some 5-pointed stars. So far so ordinary.
But as I got closer I saw it said
GIANT METEOR
***** 2024 *****
Just End it Already
I’m sure lots of us can get into that sentiment.
This latter car belongs to a clerk at a nearby store. So I can get a pic if we need it.
I do not have a picture, sadly, but heading south in Michigan on I-94 I saw a billboard of a giant cat.
And the quote:
“You can’t just keep putting up pictures of cats, Harold. People will think it’s weird.”
With the completely unrelated business name at the bottom. I think it was a car dealership.
