Everywhere a sign.

Flying is miraculous. How those mammoth metal tubes stay in the air is still amazing. However, traveling by car allows one to see so much more. The two-seater, rag-top trip to the upper Midwest produced a bevy of signs. Alas, the we missed capturing most interesting one, south of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, which read: “Private dirt pile. No trespassing.”

Others from our trip:

"I'm Terrible, and I have a casino."

Is it a command or a benefit? Parking lot sign at Stillwater, Minn.

Night crawlers and pet care. Home business diversification in Hudson, Wisc.

Obviously written for people who have work-related target fixation. Spotted somewhere in Iowa.

Classic mid-century-ish motel sign in St. Joseph, Mo.

The dinosaur is not extinct. Sinclair lives on.
