Is that like “Bridge Out?” As in the wash has broken down, so isn’t safe for the water to cross? How is the water supposed to read the sign? 😉

Yield to Confusion
Found this while wandering around the Lemon Heights area a few weeks ago, looking for scenic viewpoints. It’s on the Skyline trail, near Peters Canyon park.
It seems to be saying this:
- Cyclists* yield to pedestrians and horses.
- Pedestrians yield to horses.
- Horses yield to no one.
But if you’ve never seen it before, the meaning isn’t clear at a glance.
Apparently the idea is to make everyone stop and try to work out the diagram, so that they can start moving again in the right order.
*Or perhaps only bicycles, since there’s no rider in the picture.
New Age Drinks?
Okay, maybe I’ve missed a memo or something, but can someone tell me: what exactly is a new age drink? Nothing in the aisle stood out as being particularly new-agey.
Icy?
I rediscovered this photo while looking for the UCI Student Center pic. One of us took it on the way back from a camping trip with UCI’s Campuswide Honors Program in the Angeles National Forest in April 2000. IIRC it was along Angeles Crest Highway.
A permanent sign isn’t necessarily the best way to indicate a transitory condition.
Not a problem
Ordinarily, there wouldn’t be anything odd about this sign. But look at the placement.
Why do they need a No Parking sign in the middle of the lawn? It’s a new sign, too—they just redid the entire lawn last year.
Seriously, I don’t think they’re going to have much of a problem with people parking on the lawn in front of an office building in Irvine.
Come to think of it, though, this is only 50 feet or so from the crosswalk warning device.

In honor of the Heroes DVD release, here’s a truck that’s almost, but not quite labeled for Primatech Paper:
Interestingly, it’s been a month for timing pop culture releases with relevant astronomical events. First Stardust, all about catching a falling star, arrived in theaters the same weekend as the Perseids meteor shower. Today, the Heroes Season 1 DVD arrives on the same day as a total eclipse (albeit a lunar one, rather than solar).
