Welcome to #CheckIn for SATURDAY 2026-05-02
Muse here,
Signs of the times!
Do you have a favourite street sign, protest sign, or even one of those funny coffee shop signs?
I WANNA SEE and/or HEAR ABOUT THEM!
Why are frogs so happy?
They eat what bugs them!
Today’s topic is suggested by @Muse but there’s always an element of randomness. Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not), follow Wheaton’s Law and enjoy the space.

in reply to CheckIn Posting • • •Not strictly a sign, but Wilmington, Illinois' Gemini Giant used to be a fiberglass muffler man that was retrofitted as an astronaut and made a mascot for a now-closed restaurant called The Launching Pad. It was always a treat to come down the highway into town and see him.
Today he's in a place of honor in a park, commemorating Route 66.

in reply to CheckIn Posting • • •I don't care about cleverness. If it makes you happy then go with it. It's your expression of free speech; it's my judgement as to whether I support what you're expressing.
Oh gee, is that too free of a sentiment for my wealthy fascist USian masters to tolerate?

in reply to CheckIn Posting • • •Good evening, I spotted a weird graffiti in Frankfurt: "If you are looking for Schnitzel"
I hate Cliffhangers! The rest of the sentence is missing. What did the person want to tell us?
Otherwise, we Germans love to laugh about the French signs that say "sauf bus" because "saufen" means "drinking" in Germany...

DIrectional arrows receive the same treatment. This is the way, one direction!
