Bonnarooooo! & Traffic Wisdom

Welp, I'm off for a hippie fest for a week. Bonnaroo 2010 is gunna be even better than last year, with a totally different dynamic. Three better prepared guys, vs. seven total noobs. I'll probs try to hit this thing up, spouting some wisdom, but more than likely I'll just lay on all the Enlightenment after this crazy, crazy week.

In honor of this 24 hour roadtrip, two little things to ponder the next time you're driving:

1. The real winner out of this past recession has been the road paint companies. Think about it. Every time theres new paving, they get to redo all the lines, both yellow and white, but also all the dotted lines too. With any luck, there'll be a lane shift or a lane split, meaning whole new sets of lines that won't last anymore than a few months.
2. You know those big flashing signs that'll say like "PAVING BEGINS 3/17 -- SEEK ALT'N ROUTE" etc and so forth? Those things really just evolved out of road signs, right? But have you seen how many roadsigns we still use today? Think about how much bank some companies made when they innovated the normal road sign into something that flashes whole messages!? And now these things are so important there are even whole companies just type in messages and place these things where the highway dept want 'em! Strange, to say the least.

Anywho, I'm off to see the Wizard. Peace and love Cubscouts.
