Collect 'em, trade 'em! Whitney Point, a town near Ithaca, NY (from whence
this message came), has a welcome sign that says "Best by a Dam Site".

Sadly, they don't have this (though Lisle, next door to Whitney Point, has a
lot on the main street containing a hundred port-o-johns - quite a sight. And
there is the local septic cleaning company whose motto is "We're number one in
the number two business").
Ah, the sophisticated humor and joys of rural life,

is in Chicago, Sep 4-6. Contact Pope Flores for more info, PO Box
14683, Chicago IL 60614-0683.
I've mailed off recently, but need information on where it will be
held for housing, etc. (Pope Flores is too slackful to have his name
in the book.) Does anyone out there have more information?

On a trip to Del Rio, Texas, I passed through Hondo. A sleepy little
burg, it has an eternal place in my heart due to the sign posted on
I-90 as you hit downtown:
This is God's country. Please don't drive through it like Hell.
I contemplated slowing down to take a picture, but it's hard to
decellerate from 85 mph. Yee-Haw!

} From Wall Street Journal (p. B1) [19Aug92]
}
} The census bureau says it needed 630 separate computer
} codes to cover all the responses given for ethnic
} origin or ancestry in the 1990 census. Answers ranged
} from such straightforward replies as "English" or
} "Polish" to "mixed," "Pig Latin" and "None of Your
} Business."
Only 630!? Of course, by the time the next federal census is due, the
X-ists will have been here for their little millennial picnic and gone,
so Bob-only knows who'll be here to count or be counted. Maybe we
should send for absentee forms?
