Everywhere a Sign – CWWC

Last week, I added some photos to my response to Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, in order to meet Cee’s Which Way Challenge. While I can’t afford to join another challenge on a regular basis, Cee has made this week’s challenge much too hard to resist.

“This week’s challenge is Any type of Signs.”

I’m pretty sure I can find something.

The sign warns about rapid changes
We don’t have this sign in Connecticut – sharp turn – Yep, I get that.
There’s an exit door in the background, but I remember when I was learning to drive and having to identify signs like this by their shape.
I have never seen a pedestrian detour
A welcome sign.
The sign is posted high over the channel to warn boaters
You have to get used to this sign in New England. Especially on tall buildings with slate roofs.
This is featured in my book, “Secrets Held Against Evil.” Andrew Higgens designed, developed and build over 20,000 Higgens boats (many of them built in my home town of Pittsburgh, PA). For more about the Higgens Boat, see – https://pacificparatrooper.wordpress.com/2019/09/19/higgins-boats/
These signs were posted when the eagles first built their next.
Indeed.
You don’t see this sign all that often.
I hope Joey likes the lamp. I hadn’t seen one of these signs in a long time.
Hard to miss Mickey’s sign
There’s a welcoming sign
I remember seeing these signs painted on the sides of barns in western Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Books on Gateway Clipper

Knuckleheads — The Evil You Choose — When Evil Chooses You — Secrets held Against Evil

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.

Bridge to Nowhere

And for those of you that are thinking about that title…

    I’m glad you couldn’t resist this challenge. Great collection of signs. I can’t even remember the last time I saw a Fallout Shelter sign, and that’s a good thing!

    My favorites are the Eagle Nesting Area and the Duck Crossing!

    I’ve never seen the Snow Slide sign…maybe I wasn’t paying attention. 😵‍💫

    Have a great and very warm Tuesday. Next week these balmy temperatures are going to take a nose dive! Ginger

      I am trying to take advantage of what might be the last warm week, Ginger.

      I couldn’t believe it when I saw the fallout shelter sign

      . By the way, I’m trying to break this into paragraphs, but WordPress won’t let me – It’s only my blog, what say do I have? I could have gone on with a Turtle Crossing sign and a Geese Crossing sign, but I do try to limit these galleries. I hope you’re having a good week.

    How wonderful that the ducks arrive by Magic Carpet and then happily cross the street! 🤣That was my favorite sign in your series today.

    ‘Snow slides’ is an interesting sigh. You have been warned, though!
    I had to laugh at the ‘sharp turns’ sign. One one busy highway here, DOT put these plastic white barriers to separate vehicles that want to take the sharp turn from those that want to go straight. They did not take into account that 18-wheelers take up more room than that little turn lane DOT provided, so they are mowing down the white barriers. Which is kind of funny, to me. DOT’s proposal to ‘fix’ the situation? Put up a “No Trucks’ sign on the turn lane. Our tax dollars at work…

      Of course, building the road with fewer turns wasn’t an option, huh? The snow slide sign is funny. First. it’s on a sidewalk to the door, you can’t avoid walking there, and Second, by the time you can actually read it, you’re standing too close. Maybe they trained with your DOT folks.
