This entry is part of my “sign” series, which features my favorite signs from local biking trips. You can also see great signs from the car, of course, but it’s a lot easier to stop for a photo if you are pedaling by. This particular one marks a vacation place on the Hood Canal as seen from the North Shore Road. When I told K about it, she gently pointed out that I was reading the sign incorrectly. The word moron wasn’t mentioned.
I still like the sign—although originally I thought the second word was “Leaf.” Obviously the second word is “Loaf,” to make the sign say “Let us Loaf,” a perfect name for a vacation place. However, “Lettuce Leaf” conveys a certain whimsy that appeals to me and, I assumed, the owners. I haven’t included a photo of the house, but their beach shack is painted the color of the popular salad vegetable. I should ride by the place on Monday (as American Labor takes a well-earned holiday) to make sure the owners are taking their sign to heart.
