Here folks are lugging out Randy's sign, set into the frame we used for previous solstice signs. Instead of removing the old sign, we just bolted the new sign on top of it, so it's quite heavy. It's nice to have a professional builder working with you. Dick Hogan was easily able to cobble together enough stuff to put up both signs securely. Not that they'll be staying up long.
Folks are a tolerant bunch out there.
About five minutes after we showed up, three police cars screamed towards us, lights and sirens blazing. Turns out some genius driving by dialed 911 and told 'em that there was a fight going on in front of the courthouse. To the credit of the police, they didn't hang around long. Once we explained that we were putting up a display and had the proper permits, they left us alone. They were much more upset about the phony police call than about us.
