Random Thoughts
June 26, 2005
In my miles of driving in the past few months, I’ve noticed a couple of interesting things on the road.
First, in Oklahoma and Texas, damaged guardrails are immediately marked with new road signs saying “Damaged Guardrails Ahead.” It’s really nice of each DOT to do that… but aren’t guardrails really meant for that crazy accident when someone randomly lost control? Is a sign really going to change things?
Second, driving past many truck stops and gas stations, I’ve seen gas prices listed as .99.9$ Well, I came to realize that many service station owners obviously never thought about the possibility that gas would ever reach $2/gallon or more, so they only bought signs capable of listing prices less than $2/gallon. It’s just an interesting observation.
