total honks today: 1
total highly enthusiastic bicyclist waving at me after staring at the signs: 1

I'll put them up again some nicer, sunnier day.

(13,985 posts)Although traffic here is not that great. But I would like to put a few signs anyway, even if I am only getting the neighbours attention.
Do you have a photo of the signs, or how you designed them?
Thanks in advance!

(9,298 posts)Nice signs that will get attention. Off topic: how I envy your GREEN grass. Drought here makes it pretty difficult to cultivate such a lush lawn.

But I DO like the signs. And pedestrians can read them just fine.

(10,345 posts)this is why I boldly outlined all letters in black so they could stand out from their white backgrounds better.
also its local election time, so while other yards have standard sized, bland colored signs for people who want to be elected to town council, we have a large colorful sign that stands out from those. some people have even slowed down to read the signs!

Still 25% of all voters know practically nothing about Bernie! Let them know!

(15,480 posts)Nice work on the signs - I suggest you take them in at night to avoid vandalism.
Can you waterproof them with something like saranwrap?
retrowire
(10,345 posts)maybe I'm being weird about that but yeah.
also I only intend on leaving them up for a few hours at a time so I can observe the honks and keep an eye on them.
cui bono
(19,926 posts)Are there bumper stickers that say that? That's what we need!!!

(2,602 posts)A lot to read for a passing driver - may want to make it shorter or spread it out over several signs, berma-shave like (bernie-shave like???)
