Dunedin, Florida: Signs On Trucks: Bed Pros

Click for larger picture in a new window

I know from friends with businesses that it can be hard to get good sign exposure for their business. The subject of car signs comes up a lot, referred to as the last frontier. So I find myself noticing the signage on trucks and cars around me. The times of hand painted lettering on this type of truck are over. It's all about full cover graphics and skins that cover the vehicle.

Do you notice these ads when they are next to you on the road? If you do, does it take away, detract, from the purpose of the ad to have a large gouge in the middle of it? I can see it both ways, what about you? I have my eyes peeled now, to find interesting versions of mobile advertising. And check out the poll -->>>

Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Overpass - Fitness Resolution Inspiration

Click for larger picture in a new window

This seemed like a good picture to post today since I have been TAGGED! Yes, RO_Pumpkin, from Brasov Romania has tagged me. It goes something like this: When it comes to New Year’s Resolutions we seem to fall into four categories: 1) quite serious about them, 2) be flippant about them, 3) do it because we feel pressured to, or 4) do not do them. So, the purpose of this little game is to let us know which category you are in. Now I am going to tell you about my New Year's resolutions, and then tag a few others for the same thing!

I guess I fit into a fifth category of New Year resolvers. I make them quietly, to myself, and try not to call them resolutions so the formality of it all won't cause too much pressure, or jinx my efforts. So, if you want to call them soft resolutions, that's me. And for 2008, mine sound something like this:

The standards first: I will eat better, I will exercise more, I will speed less, and so forth. Then there are the deeper ones, like I will try to be a better person this year, more the person I think I can be, if only I tried harder. I will not hurt anyone this year, and I will be good for the people I love. I will find ways to make the lives of my loved ones easier, happier, more fulfilling. I will let the love in my heart show more readily, to strangers and friends alike, so that their lives might be just a little better. I will refrain from judgement. I will accept, tolerate, and embrace the differences, opinions, habits, and lifestyles of others around me.

Wish me luck! Now I want to tag a few of my fellow bloggers out there... Jilly, in Menton, France; Dan in McKinney, Texas; Chris in Nashville, Tennessee; and Annie in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Overpass

Click for larger picture in a new window

Here is another, wider, view of the overpass we saw in yesterday's post. It is, as you probably noticed, somewhat of a caged affair. I suspect it has to do with making sure nothing gets thrown onto the highway below. And then, it might have to do with making sure nobody can climb over the top and fall. I don't know their actual thinking on this one, I can only guess.

Either way, it beats the heck out of trying to cross busy Alternate Highway 19 directly. It is a busy road, and I am sure this overpass prevents a number of tragedies each year.

Dunedin, Florida: Pinellas Trail Overpass - Sun Loving Bicycle Riders

Click for larger picture in a new window

I think it's a pretty good guess you will see a lot of this activity this weekend. The weather is warming up nicely, so it is time to get those new Christmas bicycles out of the garage. What better place to ride than the Pinellas Trail? I'll show you more of this overpass in another post.

This 'Easy Rider Photography' took place where the Pinellas Trail crosses Alternate Highway 19 in the north end of Dunedin. It's quite near the waterfront here, although not right on it. The road under this overpass will take you south to the Dunedin Causeway, past Pirate's Cove Marina, on to Dunedin Downtown, the Dunedin Marina, Edgewater Drive, and much more. If you go north from here, you come to Tarpon Springs, the Sponge Docks and, again, much more.

Dunedin, Florida: "HALT! Who Goes There?"

Click for larger picture in a new window

I came across this sign as I walked around Lake Paloma recently. As I read it, I suddenly got the sensation that I was being watched. Quickly, I checked my feet to make sure they were not standing on a survey marker. I did NOT want to be construed as having endangered the survey marker. That's when a voice bellowed from the bushes, "HALT! Who goes there?!?!"

No, not really... but hey, it could happen! Really though, it's interesting to see this sign. When I bought 45 acres on a mountainside in Washington State, the corners were marked with things like GIANT TREES, and when you hiked through the woods to them, you scrabbled around in the fallen leaves below to find a not-very-well-marked steel pipe or concrete monument. What fun. It's not like that in the city.
