Yeah, believe me I know! I used to love the old Burma Shave signs along the 
backroads of the south when we travelled. We'd all read em out loud and see 
who could make out the letters on the next sign first. Used to love looking at 
the old painted barn adverts as well...but would not give up airconditioning to

go back to the days when they were prevalent! (grin) As I've gotten older 
I've gotten attached to my "comforts" !
