Happy New Year 2019

Wishing you all a wonderful, happy, healthy new year full of exciting new photographic opportunities!
Some of you might be old enough to recognize this sign. It brings back memories of my childhood riding in the car and waiting for the next set of Burma Shave signs to read.
For non-US residents, Burma-Shave was an American brand of brushless shaving cream, famous for its advertising gimmick of posting humorous rhyming poems on small sequential highway roadside signs:

My job is
Keeping faces clean
And nobody knows
De stubble
I’ve seen
Burma-Shave


other sizes: small medium original auto

As I am looking at this image Charlene, it reminds me of the open road and a feeling of freedom that comes with road trips. I suspect you have many happy memories when viewing this image. V

I do vaguely remember seeing them, but not the poems. A great bit of history and nostalgia. ~BV~

Dyna doesn't
Treat him right
But if he'd shave
Dyna-mite!

A blast from the past and a cool greeting. Happy New Year Charlene!

it was popular before I was old enough to shave...still the sign touches a nerve, all the more so with you keeping it upright..
