Is it me or do other state signs just look flat out funny? Whenever I travel outside of the state lines (don’t worry, I take a little bit of Texas soil with me) I find myself staring at their highway signs.  I shot this while venturing into Arkansas a bit ago, it just looks so alien. 

For those who were raised here, then moved off, do you ever get used to the oddly shaped signs? Is it conditioning or is the Texas shape just purty?

The Chronicle has a cool page where you can plug in a potential vanity plate to see if it has been taken. “DWT” has been taken. Sadly, “DRCHEM” is taken, but “MRCHEM” is not. I wonder if the world is telling me something.
