    Default Graffiti

    While I don't condone marking other peoples property I have gotten a smile out of some that I've seen. I was driving home from the market today and came to a railroad bridge and written there was "I smell bacon" and "I love sheep". Wonder about the stories behind this stuff. They repaint but those 2 sayings are always there.

    Any funny/weird "art" in your travels?

    "Will you marry me, Beth?" is written close by and hasn't been painted over for years. It's on an overpass. Makes me wonder if Beth thought that was cool/romantic.

    There are several ways to get into and out of the city. One highway road leads you past this huge green frog someone painted on a rock. It's pretty neat!

    I don't know about the "I love sheep" one but I have heard "I smell bacon"....I heard it on my brother's CB once and asked him about it, he said slang for cops is "pigs" so when other truck drivers see a cop they will sometimes say"I smell bacon" to warn others....too funny.

    When i was a child we drove out on Kiger Road with my parents and I saw, sprayed in huge letters on a bridge" Independence sucks".I knew we lived in Independence, but couldn't figure out what the sucks part meant.

    I just thought of something else.While driving on the freeway to my In-laws, there is a hill and someone carved out a smiley face in the grass. Someone must maintain it because it is never grown in. We always look forward to seeing it. I should take a picture of it.
