I am starting to feel a bit more human after having a chance to put my feet up and rest. We did do a huge amount of work and on the house and now that I am resting I am I realize how much work we did today. Tomorrow I will be doing a lot of work, but that will just be moving a friend, rather than being in a hot roof all day.

Comp.Risks has details of a story about signs in the USA. The story comes from Boston.Com. They have been replacing mile signs on highways. 12 out of 164 signs have significant errors. The contractor doing the signs charged $130,000 for computing the distances, and used Microsoft Streets and Trips available for $40 for much of the work.

From one article on the subject One sign on Interstate 93 north, near Exit 45 in Andover, reported that Manchester, N.H. was 42 miles away, although the actual distance is just a bit more than 28 miles. Another sign on Route 128/95 in Needham reported that Wellesley is 7 miles away. The actual distance is slightly less than 3 miles. A sign on Route 3 north in Braintree listed the distance to I-93 as 5 miles when the distance by odometer was 3 miles.

Nice work if you can get it šŸ™‚

Time for some sleep… I think I deserve it!
