The mortality rate of road signs near the edge of nowhere is pretty high. This particular sign has survived longer than most. It never ceases to amaze me at the amount of litter that people out here throw out on the roads, too. The closes What-A-Burger is 17 miles away, but there are burger bags littering the roads. Beer cans apparently copulate in the ditches and reproduce more quickly than rats or rabbits. Feed bags I can understand, but not the Walmart bags. Folks just seem uncaring about what they throw out of their vehicles. But let's get back to the Dead Stop. Our friend Jim put the reflective tape on this particular pole several years ago. I am not sure if the pole can be salvaged, but I think the signage will live to see more days. And exactly what happens to a vehicle that crashes in to these signs. I would suspect there would be some damage to them, but maybe not.In Jefferson County, Colorado, would-be car thief Todd Sheldon, 36, has finally admitted it's just not the vocation for him, according to the police. Fox News reported Sheldon had tried over recent weeks to steal multiple vehicles, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, but each time he was caught in the act-first by a homeowner, then by sheriff's deputies minutes later "just down the street," shocking deputies by telling them, "I'm trying to steal this truck." He was taken into custody and bonded out, but a week later, deputies responding to a report of someone trying to break into a car again found Sheldon. "I really suck at this," Sheldon allegedly told an officer. Sheldon remained in jail as of this report.
