Day Tripper

My favorite part of my job (aside from break, of course) is getting to go out on the road from time to time. Today Robbie, our lead worker Robert, and I headed out to the Bryan district to address some baffling roadbed issues:

You can clearly see why our help was so desperately needed.

Of course, what we really wanted to do, being out in the Bryan district, was meet up with our good friend and former coworker Justin, but unfortunately the roadbed issues in question were about an hour away from Bryan itself and we had to spend the entire day actually working, if you can imagine.

So we took a few pictures. We found this sign of a disgruntled Ford owner near Huntsville. Apparently it's become something of a local landmark. The sign reads: "I own a Ford Lemon/Hillcrest Ford can't fix it/Ford Motors won't fix it" on both sides:


Blogdom can never have too many alligator warning signs. Here, Robbie proudly displays one in Huntsville State Park:

There's something appealing about the way this sign is worded, as if outside the park, any alligators you may happen to experience are purely a figment of your imagination. But in the park - ah, in the park, they have corporeal existence. So look out!

The road is a dangerous place.
