MC1, we had 5 feet of snow just in the month of Feb alone. What's common with those signs is that they're all buried under snow.

They are heavy laden with negative energy.

What's up with all the "NO"?

This proves you are a product of your environment. I thought the very same thing. I had a great collection of road signs with bullet holes that got misplaced many years ago.

Tal Farlow's "day job" was a sign painter. He was a very well respected and recorded jazz guitarist from New Jersey.

Wow, that never even entered my mind. I don't think I've ever seen a street sign with a bullet hole. Dented from people hitting them, yes.

As a younger man I moved to a very rural area. A new buddy took me out bird hunting but the spots we hit didn't produce. He then decided we should go "sign hunting". Something young guys did around there. Well... you can guess the rest.
