Something to think about: The EMS, Fire company and the local police use the lamp post sign to find your house in emergencies.

Be sure you have your house number on the lamp post sign or someplace where it can be seen - preferably a lighted place.

Chief Tucker mentions this several times a year in his Daily Sun articles.

Also, in my case - Ace was the place to get the sign. When I got mine, they even came out and hung it for me at no extra charge.

Neat bumper sticker. Went like this: "It's God's job to judge terrorists. Our job is to arrange the meeting!"

Be a gentleman, remove your hat/cap when entering a building and dining out!

About 5 miles North of TV on 441 (open Friday - Sunday). A large tented flea market/produce market with many many vendors (sign sez 1,000 vendors but probably lucky if half that)

A couple weeks ago they had a special military equipment flea market. Had lots of vehicle parts, uniforms, etc.; also had jeeps, trucks etc up to a M48 Tank on display and for sale.

Here comes Tony, I am about to hijack another thread. I saw him last week hanging my picture at the post office. (I took it right down)

Anyway....When do we EVER get to take the numbers off our window...or not???? I sort of remember you are supposed to leave them up for emergency vehicles. Kinda like it is a rule. Who can tell me about this?

I took mine off of the window when I put the lamp post sign up.

Default Posts about (yard sign) Posts

Again with the BJ Thomas thing, not to mention another highjacking:

What a day for a yard sign,
What a day for a yard-sign foray,
I'm lost in a daydream
Thinking all about yard signs today.

Even if it didn't make the New York Times
It's one of those days to talk about yard post signs
I know that it's true, it's on a lot of folk's minds
Three separate threads today about those yard signs!

la te da te te da da...
