    Following are signs I’m accustomed to seeing on highway exits:

    • Food
    • Gas
    • Lodging
    • Hospital
    • Airport

    Following are signs I find new and strange on highway exits:

    • Wi-Fi

    If you’re curious, the icon for Wi-Fi is not the usual symbol.  It’s just the word “WIFI” on the standard blue square.

    I also really like the old “Library” signs.  It’s a pictorial representation of a place where people go to read.  If you can’t read the word “Library” aren’t you also disinclined to visit one?

      Thanks to my talking GPS, I don’t need no stinking signs anymore. I just go where “Serena” — the GPS’s soothing British voice — tells me.

      “Turn ‘eft on Common’ealth Avenue.”
      “Take ramp on ‘eft.”
      “Recalculating.”
      “Recalculating.”
      “Recalculating”.
      “You are not worthy. Return me to the store.”
