If You're Tired From Biking, There's Always A Gold Chair To Sit On.

There are these signs all around where I live and I have been too embarrassed to ask someone what they meant. At first I thought they meant, well, here, let me show you what they look like:

Now, what would you think they meant? Yes, exactly. In actuality, they are signs for the Eastern Trail. It’s a route you can fallow all along the Eastern coast by bike or foot, whatever floats your boat.

I find these signs incredibly amusing because I look at them and wonder what the goal was of the design. If it was simply to inform, would it look like that? It almost seems like they wanted people to notice them, even those who are driving past just like I have. In that case, wouldn’t they be more like an advertisement since they are so eye catching? Also, in a way, they are persuasive, yet another way they are more like an advertisement.

At least that question of mine got solved today, now if only I could figure out why there is a large golden chair and footstool in front of a building near downtown. The footstool is taller than me; the chair looked like it was two stories tall. When I say large, I mean LARGE. The off season for tourism and activities is now, around Christmas, even the museums are closed. I also can’t figure out what the building is and it’s interesting that it’s at the intersection of Rice Street and Love Lane which leads of Government Ave.

So there you have it, further proof that I am not supposed to live a normal life. Well, at least I’ll never get bored, which makes me happy.
