instead of risking the wrath that obviously is going to come one's way as a result of posting a sign on your lawn (think about the uproar over those little white crosses)
I encourage those that want to put up a sign to learn to use semaphore instead
okay it may not be fashionable of late...but think about the hidden benefits:
- low cost approach to get your message across to others
- learning a new skill will help to keep your mind stay active,
- lots of upper body exercise waving those flags about
- you can be festive and change the flags to match the seasons / holiday themes...(yup, even political banners if you want to live on the edge)
- you're outside getting fresh air (wear a hat and sunscreen, and bug spray after 6pm)...
- you'll get waves and honks from passer-byes....
- you may even be approached to join the Villages Cheerleaders....
- you can have a boom box playing an appropriate theme in the background to reinforce your message (or just go with Y.M.C.A.)
- and you can do all of this standing in the safety of your own front yard
- you make a mistake, nobody's really gonna know
- eventually you'll be written up in The Daily Sun...result - BINGO! your message is delivered to every single subscriber for free! (heck if you dress up in a silly outfit you might even make placement 'above the fold'
just saying
