There is a road that runs along some property that I own and teenagers were stealing the signs to decorate their bedrooms. One day there was a rollover accident near my driveway, on the main highway. It was raining like a cow peeing on a flat rock and I saw the commissioner standing in the rain directing traffic. I grabbed my umbrella and went running down where he was and held it over both of us and stroked his ego; commissioners love that crap. In the course of the conversation I asked if he would do me a couple of small, inexpensive favors. Then I told him we needed a "Slow, Children Playing" sign and a "Stop" sign erected on the road; that the others had been stolen. I asked him to weld the signs to metal posts and set the posts in concrete. He did it the next day and that took care of the problem. The signs have been in place for more than a year now.

I live just out of town on a 2-lane road with 30 mph speed limit. When we first moved here there was an alcoholic woman who lived across the road and hated speeders. She would run out and stop the cars and you could hear her 'cussin' the drivers for a country mile. She did more to control the traffic than a cop could have done. She died 4 years ago and nobody has taken over her "job."
