Currently, I'm looking for good library signs so parents don't encourage their kids to press the handicap door button. It's such a common event over here,but it's ...not for kids to have fun with,hehe. Unfortunately, the library is filtering those links to apparently keep my eyes from burning. I just find that ironic and funny! Oh, I didn't post my real email address btw. Very interesting post.

I also take down bad signs. It is amazing how quickly the proliferate. It's like bad sign fairies/elves sneak in at night and put them up. A sign doesn't fix every problem. Most people don't read them anyway! Woo hoo! I also take down bad signs. It is amazing how quickly the proliferate. It’s like bad sign fairies/elves sneak in at night and put them up.
