182 Signs Seen Along the Way 4

Having a lot of time on my hands, I've spent some of it just poking around among the stuff I've collected for possible use in these ramblings.  Among other things, I've run across some more signs, or pictures of signs, which I've collected because they intrigue and/or amuse me.  So, I thought I'd share a few of them as I have done occasionally in the past.  I think this is the fourth time I've done this, but I keep finding these great signs....  Anyway, here are some more which struck me as entertaining or thought-provoking.
 
I don't know where this was from, but I found it on the Internet a while ago.  It's, obviously, a couple of years old, but, given the reality of Uber and Lyft, it does seem to suggest that time, and perspective, can change attitudes and ideas, at least for some.  I do have to confess, however, that I'm not overly fond of the whole "Uber/Lyft/gig" economy.  It just doesn't strike me as particularly safe, or wise, for either party, even when we don't have a pandemic to worry about.

This is, perhaps a bit more a sign of the times, but I found it amusing:

"Big Box stores," as we all know, desire to sell one everything that he/she might need for any occasion.  They seem to want to an entire mall under one roof.  Apparently, this sometimes leads to difficulties and/or awkwardnesses, however, which show up in the signage ....

Perhaps it's also a sign of the times that this one makes a lot of sense:

While driving down the street a few weeks ago, I saw this decal on the back window of a car...

So, when I got home, I looked it up and discovered that it is, apparently, a "thing."  Who knew?
 
Then, just the other day, I saw this on the back of a car at a stoplight.

So, I looked it up when I got home and discovered there are a number of variations of this out there.  Unfortunately, I don't think Obi-Wan is eligible as he is not "native born," coming as he does from "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...."  That seems too bad.

As we live in Omaha, we are used to having some sort of wind blowing at, virtually, all times.  (There are occasions when I am reminded of Oklahoma! "... where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.")  That's probably why I was much pleased by the idea that some unknown weather person at some Channel 12 located somewhere had developed a wind gauge system which seemed to make sense for those of us who live on the Great Plains.  Check it out...

Hey, it works for me.
 
Sometimes, I "discover" a sign which was clearly totally unplanned, and which occurred through some sort of freak of nature.  I'm reasonably sure that this is the case with this next one, but it struck me as one which was just too wonderful not to include.  I think it qualifies for a second look, even in Hollywood.  I didn't take this picture, but I wish I had.  I LOVE it!

My most recent example from the "Did that sign REALLY say that?" folder is ...

One wonders what the sign makers were thinking (or IF they were).  Oh, well...  
 
Our older daughter, Kate, sent me this not long ago and I could NOT resist including it as a "sign of the times."  I don't know that it was really a sign, in the technical sense, but it DOES make you think, doesn't it?

This isn't a sign, but a Pearls Before Swine cartoon.  Still, it struck me as a sort of "sign of the times...."  Or, perhaps I just like old Abbott and Costello routines.

Oh, well, even this will, eventually, pass, I suppose (hope).
