Just wondering if anyone else has seen something like this. I'm thinking that John B has just lost his claim to the most ass-backwards state in the country. It's new construction and the entire subdivision was done this way.

bicyclist's speed bump.

You can't use the sidewalk anyways; that trucks blocking it.

But seriously-- never seen anything like that.

[John Kogel]

The architect doesn't get out much. Never tried to walk a dog on a leash, or push a baby buggy or ride a trike down a sidewalk. Or tried to stagger home in the wee hours of the AM. Hope somebody's handing out helmets. []

It must be a southern thing.

Somehow, there's a probably a GREEN explanation for this, like never having to weed whack around the light posts - trillions saved in future weed whacker fuel! Yeah, that's the ticket. (And, the architect loathes those who text while walking...)

I won't easily relinquish my state's title, but that wouldn't fly here due to the Americans with Disabilities Act. I can almost envision someone in a wheelchair, toppled over on the ground, shaking his fist at that light pole.

Although not very p.c. I had to laugh out loud.

Maybe part of a new mandatory healthcare initiative.

It can test coordination, as you have to step around to get past or it could be part of an overall planned obstacle course for the neighborhood. [:-dunce]

ADA non-compliance issue. Thanks for the ammo John. I can't wait to get back there.

Kurt said it best the other day, "I guess if anyone is allowed to build, then anyone will."

That just may be my new favorite quote. Well, it's near the top. This is still my favorite, " I am good at writing but I don't plan on doing to much of it since I am also a tech geek so I will type everything."

[Terence McCann]

My favorite Kurt-ism is "I walk in wondering what I'm going to find and I leave wondering what I missed."

[mgbinspect]

Or, pondering the saying, "If you build it, they will come."... I wonder who's coming?..

Me too. Sometimes I think Bain missed his calling of being a comedian.

Hey, anyone will do anything, because they can..........

Yes, it's real, and it's alive. In a restaurant, no less.

The local health department says that's ok, huh? Wow.

Waiter! There's an ant in my soup!

[Mike Lamb]

Kurt, that has got to be Photoshopped or it's the coolest thing I've ever seen. I gotta go there.

You're probably going to have to know a tree hugger to get a reservation.

Nope, live action. Out in West Dundee, near the river.

Foods OK, if the place is still there. The restaurant was for sale, that's how I got to see it. My guy didn't buy, so who knows?

It also violates Fair Housing.

Nah, he's still a comedian.

What I've never figured out, is that women find me entertaining when I first meet them. But after a month, sometimes two? No matter what I say, they just glare at me with expressions that make The Evil Eye seem warm and inviting by comparison.

Don't let it bug you. I get it too. After a month or two, who cares? The new car smell is gone by then.

I thought that was normal. Hell, I've been getting the same glare for 24 years. I just glare back.

Major thread drift but those photos got me. . . .

I'm trying to figure how to seal the tree penetration through the roof of the tree house I'm building.

Kurt, can you remember the details--is that just a bunch of goop sealing the roof deck to the trunk? Did they allow room for growth of the trunk and if so, how much?
