Interesting road signage

Here's a sign I have not seen before on the road. This was taken during our roaming between Reno and Fallon, Nevada. We headed to Pyramid Lake and loved it. It is so open and different out there in the desert. We didn't see any bulls, or even cows. But we did see some horses. And a great big lake.

Now here's a sign from the Reno area that I found simply hysterical! Someone with a sense of humor MUST have known that a bus stop right in front of the Beware of Bears sign would be hilarious. I wonder if anyone ever uses it. Those houses up there looked pretty expensive. Maybe the housekeepers use the bus. I'm really curious. No one used it when we passed by twice.



Reno is about one hour from Fallon and we stayed there our last evening in Nevada since we were flying out of there back to Texas. We got up and drove 50 miles south to catch a glimpse of the northern tip of Lake Tahoe. It was fabulous. People were outside -- hiking, biking, walking, climbing. We loved it up there. We drove up and down and round and round and had a blast. Our stopping point was King's Beach. What a neat area. It sort of reminded me of an older area of Austin. But with really, really tall pines surrounding every building. I loved the fresh air there. We even touched into California! I had forgotten we'd do that until we saw the welcome sign.

Coming from Texas, home of all sorts of wonderful tacos...I just didn't know what to make of this sign:

Can someone explain this to me?

I might just be missing something but how is a dressed up cow mannequin suppose to entice me to buy things here? If anything, I find it a bit creepy. But that's must my opinion. This is a shop at the Dallas airport.

Is the window mine? Or hers?

When you have a window such as this, to whom does it belong? It's up far enough to just possibly be hers but I don't want to be rude and just do what I will with it. So I didn't touch it; nor did she for most of the trip. Then she finally closed it and we both slept a bit.

I miss sitting in the exit rows. And after all that practicing with Sonia for evacuating fellow passengers and for operating the exits. Sigh, we should run a drill. I told Jess if we keep doing site visits together, I will have to ask her to start practicing evacuation drills with me. :)

No news is good news.

It's not that we have forgotten to post. It's just that I am going on two full weeks at home! Woo hoo! Check back next week for something as Jessica and I head to Nevada and Iowa. There's bound to be a funny story there somewhere.
