Priceless. At least they don't have a webcam feed running so you can watch nature on a screen instead of being in it. Coming Next Year in Metaverse.

But what if enjoying alcohol is in your nature?

Rusty म्हणाले...

What the hell fun is that?

gilbar म्हणाले...

aren't people FUN?
They're NOT alcoholics (Oh NO!), they just cannot imagine a life where they aren't drinking

Both are very sound bits of advice. Peculiar to have them as electronic commands though...

THC OK.

Meade म्हणाले...

Alcohol isn’t part of nature?

Signs around here won't photograph. Only half the lights are illuminated at one time.

Sign, sign, everywhere a sign, blocking out the scenery, breaking my mind. Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?

Rocky Comfort म्हणाले...

I suppose denatured alcohol is allowed.

The wall. “ The stone entryway at Picnic Point was constructed under the direction of Edward Young by one of his employees.

Stones for the wall were gathered from around southern Wisconsin, probably in the late 1920s. The diversity of rock specimens in the wall—thanks to the glaciers that transported them to the region—makes it an ideal teaching aid for geology students on campus.

Used to have keggers on Picnic Point back when I went to high school in Madison.

Perhaps it's a reminder for underagers that today, like in the past those Pixnix Piint keggers were almost guaranteed to get busted and you'll have to run through the buggy dark woods to get away.

Alcohol happens naturally.

Keep the ecosystem out of your body. No spreading of micro-organisms unless you are a gay male.

Protect the ecosystem. Everywhere you step, you may be killing something. Live as much as possible like a Jain.

"Enjoy" may not be the word we are looking for.

It’s an alternative to PLEASE DONT LITTER sign. Maybe they are seeing more littered little bottles, the kind they used to sell in airplanes. Those are easier to conceal in places where they have laws governing public consumption.

That's reserved for watching Yule logs burn,

Here in north east FLlorida no alcohol is allowed on the beach. All coolers are subject to search. But if you keep it cupped or coozied in a fake Coke wrap and are low key imbibing it's a wink and a nod from Law enforcement. Which is not to say they won't take it and dump it if they see it or ticket you if you are egregious about it. We can, in select areas, still drive on the beach. That's best done sober.

It would be fun to mess with the computer in that rig and reprogram the message to be something truly silly and outrageous.

Yes, I am a bad person to entertain such thoughts. But seriously: who needs a nosy sign yelling at them in Command Mode to do X and don’t do Y? Those trailers are supposed to help drivers avoid highway trouble, not tell walkers how to look at nature.

Beside a main thoroughfare a sign blinks: Keep Your Eyes On The Road

True story.

Linda म्हणाले...

ha ha! Who in their right mind would think that an obnoxious flashing sign would work? Maybe the same group that thought sending a letter to students asking them to stop the "eat shit" "fuck you" chant during the football games would work.

Jenny Holzer has sure come down in the world lately.

Joe Smith म्हणाले...

Nothing says 'Nature' like a big ol' electric sign...

Rusty म्हणाले...

Owen. Now I think you're obligated to do it.

Fermentation is a natural process. You hear about animals and birds getting drunk on fermented berries.

Ever eat a Pine Tree? Many parts are edible.

Thanks for that. But I have a disturbing message. All the rocks in the wall are the type that have been called N-er heads by masons in the past. So this wall is guilty of destroying the futures of UMW students. This wall must be removed and used to make an insulating curtain around Chamberlin Rock, to prevent the racism from propagating. The labor should only be performed by certified "minorities" to prevent white people from promulgating even more damage on the well being of the State of Wisconsin.

To me that reads: "Enjoy nature? No....(Enjoy) alcohol"
