Gleaning Facebook: Signs of the Times

 ****Be sure to read the update at the bottom!****

Driving up through Floyd Springs I saw someone had torn down the big Biden banner that’s been gracing that road for months. 

The picture is I took of his sign in June.

Well, I had a couple of regular ol’ signs in the back of my Rav 4, so I stopped and knocked at the farmhouse door. What ensued was a delightful half-hour of conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Wallace House. They said the Biden banner on the next property belonged to their son, but his is behind a fence and harder to get to and is the only one still standing in the area. One had also been taken from the yard of the Cash family up the road. I got to see the two vehicles Mr. House displays in area car shows— a ‘23 Ford hotrod and a ‘72 Chevy long bed pickup.
Mr.House says the vandals won’t stop him. He plans to bolt a thick piece of plywood to the frame and paint his own sign. In the meantime he was glad to have the little substitute I supplied.
Here Mr. House poses in front of what’s left of the old banner and behind the yard sign I put up.

Later Note: Wendy Davis has found me a 4' x 4' sign to take to Mr. House! I'll deliver it tomorrow. Can't wait to see what he thinks of that!

Even Later note: Mr. House was thrilled to get the new even bigger sign, but he wouldn't let me help him put it up; he wants to attach it to some plywood to make it harder to destroy! I've added a picture of his "Thumbs-up" with the new sign.

And finally I have added a picture of the final rresult. Mr. House attached the big sign to plywood and framed it with 2x4s and erected a flag pole to accompany the sign. Yay!
