Wierd thing of the day
As the first Wierd Thing of the Day, I think I'll talk about something that I saw this week.
My normal route home is I-25, which is peppered by programmable signs. Normally, they say things like
EXTREME FIRE DANGER
NO OPEN BURNING
LOCAL BANS IN EFFECT
or
I-25 CLOSED AT
EXIT 160
CHAIN LAWS IN EFFECT
or something to that effect.
Well, on Friday, for reasons that I can't fathom, they said
STATE PATROL
HIGH
VISIBILITY ACTIVITY
I think that's the first time that I've ever seen the police warn someone about a speed trap. The best part is, I only saw 2 state patrol cars in the entire 50 mile stretch that I drive every day.
