Stop signs with a P.S. and other things



Driving around Pennsylvania is always an adventure.  Just because there is a stop sign in the road doesn't always mean you stop.  The first time I came to a stop sign (such as the one at the top) I stopped and the guy behind me honked.  There was a fork in the road and those of us going to the right didn't have to stop, but everyone coming the other direction did.  Lesson learned.  I buzz right thru the stop sign now like a pro.
"PA 272 North traffic does not stop."  We stop at this sign every time we go to church.  Sometimes we stop for a long time because the people opposite of us turning left in front of us are on the 272.  The 272 turns left.  It is a major roadway that leads trucks and such to the potato chip factory and out onto Highway 1.  This intersection has 5 roads that feed into it so it can get confusing.  After the other 4 of us have stopped for awhile and the trucks clear, we are not sure which one of us should go first.  I guess the one who is out of patience.  Usually me.
"Opposing traffic does not stop."  I found this one at an intersection with 3 roads colliding.  I guess I am the one who has to stop and wait for the intersection to be clear.  I sure hope people can read here.  It could be dangerous.
And then there are the signs at the stop lights!  Better read all the signs up there.  Sometimes you can't turn right when the light is red.  Sometimes you have to wait for the right turn light.  So do I turn right on this red light?  How about that one?  It doesn't say anything.  Does that mean it's okay to turn now?

I love this tree!  I pass it everytime I go down to Delaware to the mall or to get my car serviced at my favorite Toyota service guys.  It is so gorgeous in the spring and summer when it is totally ginormous and green.  I think it even looks cool naked, too.  Them are some gnarly branches there.  What do you think?  Over a hundred years old?  Maybe 2 hundred?  
I stopped by TJMax today.  On the way out of the parking lot, behind JOSBanks, these turkey buzzards were taking a little rest from whatever they were doing.  We see turkey buzzards out by our house alot.  It's usually after a dog kills a rabbit.  They are there to pick clean the carcass.
There you have it.  A little day in the life.
