In your face. Somebody took the shirt off his back, plus a bunch of neon reflector triangles, for a makeshift hard -to-miss alert at a right-angle torn on County Road 18 south of the state highway shops. Yes, there’s been a regulation stop sign as long as anyone can remember, but obviously it’s not enough. And the county has failed to install rumble strips. Image: Steve Lunde
