Sign of the Times Along California Highway 5

As California Highway 5 cuts south from 580 along the aqueduct road, for a time numerous signs became zero signs, leaving a stellar view of hills, cows and blue sky.

Then the creep begins. Some small. Others large. Several clustered.

Disappointing Lady Bird's legacy.

Still -- the signs do offer food for thought.

Today this unsolicited highway wisdom, staked into a field north of Newman, also made me smile:

"All is not lost if something flops."

Until... one blink delivered sign #2:

"We buy houses."

Positioned as if it was somehow a welcomed benefit.
