Murphy’s law as applied to road signage:

The more important the sign, the more likely it will be obscured by other signs or plant life.

I was going to take myself for a drive today. I’ve been doing research on the various US numbered highways (see About for far too many details), and realized road ends are a big thing. Going to start my official roadgeek life by driving to where US 20 crossed out of New York, and getting the New York/Massachusetts end for my birthday.

When I got up, I found it was snowing. Someone had replaced my vehicle with a hummock of snow. I unburied the car, moved it so the guys-with-the-plow could rearrange the snow in the parking areas from foot layer on everything to big piles along the sides. I moved the car back, came in the house, installed WordPress, started blithering. Happy birthday me.
