Sometimes I see.... Road Signs

By -
As I think I've mentioned many times, I do quite a bit of driving along Highway 14, and I love 4x8 signs. I managed to remember to bring a camera along for once, so I snapped a few pictures of them on this trip.

You can find this sign for Bryce Healy along the side of the road in Highmore:

And you can find those of his opponent Jarrod Johnson all over the place in several locations along the way:


I forget where I saw this Steve Kolbeck sign - there's a couple of them in the route between Brookings and Pierre.

Bruce Whalen's sign coverage is starting to pick up - I saw several of these signs along the route:

This sign for Tom Hansen is around the Ree Heights area and is one of several her has between Ree Heights and Huron. This is by far the best looking one, as it appears to be from a stencil. He's got a few free hand ones that are different, and I'll try to get a picture on the way back.

Here's a Billion sign which I think I snapped outside of Wessington.

I think this Hargens sign was somewhere around the Wolsey turnoff to Huron.

And what would a post be without a "What not to do." Does anyone in their right mind think that anyone can adequately read and process the information on these signs as they are going 55-65 miles per hour? It's just a big mish-mash.


Spread them out at least a reasonable distance, or they do you little good in the race for name recognition.

More to come later!

Not that I think you intentionally omitted them, but there are also a few (like 20) Rounds signs along that stretch - of course why post those - everyone's seen them.

Even at a (long long) distance I can easily make out the names of that slate of candidates --and I LIKE them all together--shows unity!

I wish you had done a close up of Koskan's sign----esp. since you did one of that other guy---kol something....

I will have some of the rounds signs, and Koskan signs on another trip in about 2 weeks.

I'm doing about 65... or more... when I see these. Sometimes I go pas them too quickly.

I did do a Koskan one, only it didn't turn out very well. I'll get it later.

And Anon #2, I'm all for party unity. And Unity is all well and good, but the key is getting beyond the 20% of the electorate you automatically have.

And if they can't read your sign while doing 55-65, what's the purpose of it.

Saw a unique yard sign in Clear Lake the other day. "Peterson for Senate" on one side, and "Peterson for House " on the other.

PP, Did you miss the 4X8 YES on Amendment D, for Real Property Tax Relief on Hwy.#14, 3 miles west of Lake Preston. Good looking sign!

Democrats in SF have their signs out, almost no Republicans do. Sandy Jerstad has huge signs all over 41st street, and a couple big ones on Minnesota Ave. Yard signs everywhere. Suzy Blake has signs all over Central Sioux Falls. I've seen some Heidepriem signs, a few Billion signs, and a few Himmel-Roberts signs (county commission candidate).

I assume the Republican signs will be coming along shortly.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on...
