I saw these delightfully homely signs while taking the Monte Cristo scenic drive through rural northern Utah a few weeks ago.
This is the time of year that ranchers bring their sheep and cows down off federal land, where they’ve been grazing all summer.
Naturally, I had to wonder—Do only the slow sheep hang out on the road?
The fast sheep are quick enough to get out of the way of speeding cars! 😉
I spotted this fun sticker proclaiming automotive financial wisdom on a car in my workplace parking lot the other day!
As an aside—I’ve found debt-free living to be a highly satisfying lifestyle and I’m happy to own my own I-paid-for-it-with-cash vehicle. I recommend Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps as a great guide for budgeting, paying off debt, saving money, and building wealth.
I spotted these skeleton statue decorations in the midst of the Halloween aisles at my local Michaels store recently. What a perfectly specific gift for any Halloween-loving yogis in your life. 🙂
I’m guessing that this person is 1) an ardent practitioner of crewel embroidery and 2) an admirer of the villainess in the The 101 Dalmatians!

The Walmart parking lot never fails to deliver interesting sights.
On a recent trip to the South Island of New Zealand, I saw a variety of interesting signs!
This chiropractor has both national pride and a sense of humor!
This sign is part of a display at the earthquake-damaged ChristChurch Cathedral.
The sign says, “Country roads are not motorways. Slow down.” Fun fact: In New Zealand, the maximum speed limit is 60 mph…
The game of croquet appears to be taken quite seriously here.
This is, ahem, a giant statue of a dwarf in the Auckland airport.
The giant dwarf statue is on loan from Middle Earth. 🙂
A cute farm stand near Abel Tasman National Park.
Make sure to note who has the right of way on the one-lane bridges!
Lambing in progress!
A pretty sweet-looking MOTEL sign.
This motor camp awesomely repurposed some classic McDonald’s playground equipment!
I encountered Star Wars Day 2018 being celebrated with style in a Vietnamese pho restaurant and on the interstate this past weekend. 🙂
I recently came across these harsh, but humorous, ways to inform someone that they’re wrong.
“I can explain it to the gentleman, but I cannot comprehend it for him.”

—Jorge Luis Borges, Argentinian writer
“I’m right, and you’re smart, and sooner or later you’ll see I’m right.”
— Charles Munger, American businessman
