Is Christmas a road hazard?
I wondered....
I was driving through Abbotsford here in BC a few weeks ago after our snowfall, and was taken aback by a road hazard sign I saw posted on the side of the road. I had to do a double take...then I had to go back the next day with my camera to take a picture I thought I'd share:  Hilarious, I thought! And it's a genuine city street sign! |

 It's on Huntingdon...you go up the hill and pass the fill place where all the dumptrucks go (around Bradner Rd.), and as you head back down the hill you'll see the sign, halfway between the crest of the hill and the s-curve at the bottom, heading towards Aldergrove.

But true... we act like a small town out of the fifties... and that plus the religious factor means we're down to I think 1 nightclub and 5 bars... and 4 of those bars exist under provincial laws that meant the city had no say in their existence... LOL |

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what we're being Cautioned against.
  It's not like the "Falling Rocks" or "Deer Crossing" signs... I mean, when I see those I kind of know what to be looking out for... Will a manger scene suddenly appear out of nowhere? Camels crossing? The blinding from a bright star? Last edited by SunKneeMarie : 12-13-2005 at 08:57 AM. |

This is actually in the "Bible Belt" of our area...they even have nativity-based Christmas concerts at school there!
