Signs of the times.

I noticed that the sign over the bar tucked in behind our Spring Training stadium had changed the other day. It was until recently called "The Monastery, Too." I'd guess the name came from the lack of female patrons during the actual training part of Spring Training. The new name is 'The Salty Señorita." Probably they used to have too many monks hanging around. ;o)

I've seen the sign before, but it sort of jumped out at me the other day. There are No Trespassing signs at the entrances of one of the busy shopping area's parking lots. It's near the highway and the signs, I'm sure, are to keep truckers and others from parking overnight. But I wonder how many timid would-be shoppers have seen the signs and dutifully turned around and left.

This morning Fry's Electronics has an ad in the paper which was entitled as you might expect "Valentines Day Gift Ideas". One of the items in the ad offers two different income tax programs. Nothing says romance like W-2s. This year the IRS should have no trouble getting people to file *something* since it looks like we're all getting a rebate this spring.
