July 6th, 2012: Billboard

I have terrible news.  Some very very terrible news.

My favorite Billboard got taken down.  I am grief stricken.  It was the best worst sign ever.  I never got a chance to get a picture of it and I should have just followed my gut instinct to get a picture the other day because now it is too late.

Let me see if I can give you a description that even comes close to how awesomely bad this billboard was.

First I'll set the background of the billboard.  It was an orange like color as far as I can remember.  Just a solid color of orange.  The font of the words was varying in styles depending on the sentence.

There was a picture of a guy in a cowboy hat with a guitar covering half of the sign.  Can you guess what the advertisement is for yet?  The cowboy also had glasses because this is clearly and educated businessman cowboy. He had a blue button up shirt.  You know, like cowboys do.  I'm sure he was wearing cowboy boots too if you could see the rest of him.

The words on the sign mentioned the companies name on the bottom which I think included something about windows, but the best part was the biggest letters on the sign read "Need Siding?"

How in the world does one advertise for siding on a house by having a big picture of a cowboy with a guitar?!  Well that window company did! Wait, they don't even mention siding in their company name? It is a company that primarily sells windows, but decides to advertise for siding.  Huh.  Must be how they thought cowboys are prime siding sellers.  Cowboys with guitars no less.

All I know is that I'm going to miss driving home and seeing that sign.  How dare they change that sign for a stupid add about a burrito at Taco Bell.  I'm so sad.

Besides this dreadful news, I have better news.  We finally got that cool air sweeping in and delivering us with some much needed comfort tonight.  Chad and I roasted some marshmallows around my fire pit to celebrate the cool weather that arrived.  Then we started seeing lighting crackle in the sky and decided we should probably pack it in.

Once again. Took pictures of the fire but my phone doesn't feel like uploading the pictures and I don't feel like getting a cable sooooo no photo.  I'm just too sad about that billboard to move.

Goodnight!
