A while back, in the street sign entry I wrote that there hasn't been any vandalism on them in quite a while. That kids are more busy today, more lazy, and (I hoped) more civic-minded.
Today, I was informed that one of them on the main road around the lake was lying into the street. It was one that we dug a new hole for and re-set in fresh concrete back in October. The concrete mass was the end in the road... so even with 50+ m.p.h. wind gusts today, I would say it likely had help getting in such a position. There wasn't any damage besides a few scuff marks in the new paint where it must have hit the ground. A mound of fresh dirt was visible. Not much to do other than dig out the hole a little deeper, make sure the street names are aligned properly, fill it in and hope that someone's wild oats have been sown enough. So that's what I did.
Don't quite get it, though. Tearing out your own street sign is a lot like kicking yourself in the balls.
