What's amazing to me is how many get flattened in totally decent
weather. Don't know how many times I've gone by a stop sign, street
sign or directional divider sign one day and it's bent over flat the
next. No ice, no rain, nothing. Bunch of drunks, must be. Guess it
keeps the street department in work. Body shops, too. You'd have a
hard time straightening out those sign posts, most resemble a lazy "S"
after ending up underneath. Have some three foot tall concrete
bollards about a foot in diameter in front of the neighborhood post
office, somebody flattened a couple of those, too. Have a 3" pipe in
the center, also filled with concrete. Can't think of any car short
of one traveling at speed flattening one, had to have been a really
substantial truck. Painted bright yellow, too, not exactly
camoflaged. Glad I'm not out much that late(or that early).
