The Amazing Portable Road Signs of Rural America

Yes, by looking at the title this is a blog about road signs. But hey, it's my blog and I wanted to do one about road signs, so lay off. From the sound of it Gail Anderson, the author of this article, has the same sort of weird fascination with road signs that I do. It isn't really the informational signs that I like, in fact those are really boring. I don't care that there is 5% off snow cones at a store 28 miles from my house. However, what I do like are all the possibilities that come with a road sign, and especially the people that use them as their own personal joke-board. You can put anything on that sign (as long as it doesn't violate any major rules or laws). How funny would it be to be driving down the road and see this

Really, its just all about the possibilities.

Because of her odd fascination with rural road signs, Anderson relies mostly on her own pathos as the strong point of this article. She uses her own emotions and the kinds of crazy thoughts that she has about road signs to draw people into the article. Also, she likes to include pictures in order for the readers to further understand her fascination over these signs. By including these pictures, she is able to show some of the funny reasons why she likes road signs, and it might even go as far to develop that same odd obsession with the road signs that they see.
