    At first I was worried the tire shops might lose money. On second thought, I’m sure people drive right past this sign and set their trailer brakes and then drag a couple tires down the road until they blow out.

    Couldn’t help but laugh when my buddy sent me this today.

    Ever drive the Oregon coast on 101? Oregon has Tsunami Warning signs posted. The evacuation routes are marked with an arrow pointing uphill.
    Uphill...do people really have to be told that?
    Sometimes my neighbor to the north worries me.

    You don't even have to set your brakes for them to freeze. They should have a sign telling you to ride your brakes before shutting down.

    The brochure didn't say anything about tsunamis.

    It's okay. They don't charge extra for them.

    I don't think the tsunami ones point up hill as much as they do inland.

    It's no different than Indiana having signs that say "traffic from left and right does not stop".
