futile utilization

June 30, 2026

After delivering the mail to APL, I paused for a moment to take in this whole sign post. As Alistair pointed out, it’s a jumble.  It’s not too much information, but it’s poorly presented. A cyclist cycling by would never be able to gain much from this because they need to focus on the cars riding their ass on the roundabout off the U-bridge, as well as all the clueless cyclists about to cross their path from both directions. The East-West arrows are tweaked and rather meaningless as proximity leads to assumptions. This arrow goes with that direction, not the direction right next to it, the other one, up there. The Burke-Gilman signs are redundant. The missing EXCEPT BICYCLES BITCHE$ sign at the bottom is a blessing. Why would you want that sign beneath a series of signs directed specifically to cyclists??? All-in-all this sign near Applied Physics reminds me of a comical sign you’d find in the middle of nowhere, indicating that Grinnell, Iowa is only 1811 miles east,  Prince Rupert is 1024 miles north and McKinleyville is 572 miles south.

You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead—your next stop, the Twilight Zone!
