Signs of the Times

On one of my first days in Fresno I saw a large sign that read "Free Dirt" posted on a house fence. That was just the start of the strange signs for even stranger products that I encountered during my visit.

This one baffled me until I discovered that this is reverse advertising. They're actually offering low price smog minimisation, not the smog itself.

This next one I like a lot. In Fresno, you can just pop out for a Mexican dinner and a sword.

Essence of California. Aging hippy distributing free hugs to passers by. I secretly wanted one but was too Australian and uptight.

Ensenada. Self-explanatory.

San Francisco. Before you look at the close up of the sign below, please note that there is plainly not a bench anywhere in this first picture.

I try to understand, but my head hurts.
