I’ve been a typist since I was really young and learned how to type on an old manual typewriter. One of those big heavy metal ones from the 1950s or earlier. I have also always liked type faces and over the years have published and edited many different newsletters and advertisements for the companies I worked with. Chris and I watched this movie this past week. Here is a trailer from it. It was fascinating and interesting.
Here are a couple of my favorite signs I’ve captured over the years. For those of you who don’t know me, you will kind of get a sneak peak at my quirky sense of humor. Have a great week everyone and here is my entry for the Weekly Photo Challenge.

Some of those are hilarious, Cee, precisely the sorts of things I spot and like to take photos of. The road resting is funny; the one with the photographer ignoring the sign, annoying!

There should be a lot more road resting. Road are under a great deal of stress and need to be looked after much better than they are. There should be a road resting day once a year. 🙂

I think I might change my name to road ;-). And, ahh, fonts and foundries. Are they not just wonderful? The simplicity of Helvetica. I really like the video. Wishing you and Chris a magical day.

What funny signs – like you I’ve worked as a typist and used to type on weird old clunkers that weighed a ton. Who would have thought being a typist would find a new life typing on keyboards for blogs.

I bet you don’t sit up straight anymore. I know I don’t. I used to have such great posture, but then I typed 200 wpm too. Now…not so fast 🙂

Sitting up straight? wish I did – I have such an aching shoulder from sitting hunched over my computer. I must get off it and go and do something else. 🙂
