In Sebastopol they do things differently.
Some signs are useful.
The ones that tell you how far the next town is are wonderful. Of course they d be better if a huge truck wasn t always in the way when you want to see them. And McDonald s signs are always welcome, not because you re desperate for food, but because it means you ll be able to go to the bathroom without worrying about whether anyone can see you standing behind the open car door, wondering what to do with that now full Coke can, or feeling like you have to buy a cup of coffee at the Gouge-Mart so you can use their facilities, knowing that if you do you re going to have to pull over again in fifteen minutes to eliminate it. And hope no one sees you standing behind your open car door. The first odd sign on this trip was in Sebastopol.
