He Went <<< >>> way

It took me until now to realize that street signs derive much of their authority from what they're mounted on. Welded to steel girders above the highway? Great. On a metal post at the end of your street? Very good. Nailed to two trees? Reach for the GPS.

Thanks for the help in this realization, Nederland.

Nederland

I'm off to the town of Nederland, CO for a day's work. Nederland is Dutch for "Netherlands" And, by the inverse property, Netherlands is English for "Nederland."

I'm posting for two reasons. One, to share the joy with you. Two, so you know my last whereabouts. Nederland is a . . . special place, so I just want to make sure I keep tabs on myself in case I get lost up there. For example, thanks to the discovery of a Frozen Dead Guy, they now celebrate Frozen Dead Guy Days (check your local listings). Maybe I'll get to meet him.
