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.
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).
This touring bus has an advertisement for the company’s website, but the placement of the handle for the cargo doors is… unfortunate, as it obscures the top of the “o” in “.com”—changing it into an entirely different word.
And weren’t those who dedicated themselves to the service of Vesta called Vestal virgins? I’m just sayin’…
(Once again, I’m afraid to see what search terms are going to bring people here…)
