The trick with Neil Diamond, **Cinebar** is that regardless of how crappy the song, just sing it like it’s really, _really_ important… (Not on my birthday though - no matter how hot that August night is.) ---

I believe you can find the answer [here](http://www.topix.com/forum/city/dexter-mo/T138UV9NP1CKUP5KK). ETA: Or, here’s the quote: Been out of town for a couple of weeks what are all those 8.15.10 signs for? […] I was told it had something to do w/ one of the churches in town…that’s hear-say, but it’s the best I got. […] Yes it is 1st baptist. They are trying to get all unsaved people to churh on that certain day. Its gonna be a day long event. Its gonna be alot of fun. And thus endeth the mystery. ---

There was an orange sign on the lawn of my neighbors house across the street a few weeks ago. It was for unpaid taxes. The sign stated their property taxes were delinquint and the house would be auctioned if the tax was not paid by X date. ---
