Signs of the times

Readers may remember that last week, hundreds of Obama signs were stolen from my East Austin neighborhood.

I'm happy to report that over the weekend, the 'hood rallied back quite well. Here are just a few examples. Click on any of the pictures to enlarge.

First, there's the "safety in numbers" house.



Another neighbor tried the "total overkill" strategy - mounting a 4x8 highway sign to the driveway gate, and just for good measure, also painted the window in case that didn't work.



Yet another neighbor tried the "obey the Bible" approach, with some Buddhism thrown in just to cover all the bases. Confused theology perhaps, but effective.



But I think my favorite is the neighbor who tried the Burma-Shave approach.

Oh sure, you're now claiming that this post didn't bring tears of joy to your eyes? It did mine.

You think that's bad, I teared up watching Wolf Blitzer interview Obama yesterday, he's that good (Obama, not Blitzer). I mean, really. I'm way too cynical for that. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow.

/meaning ... drinking lots of martinis while watching election results.
