This note was attached to my gate yesterday. The title looked like an important notice from a Hi-Tech engineering firm... ? Read on and it was an advertisement for curb painting... o_O Going with it because my curb numbers are trashed out...

They did this every year in AZ too. Most would choose either a Saguaro or the D-Backs logo next to their number. I never did it because every house there has a plaque on your garage with your address number on it and never saw the need for it but it is a good idea if an area doesn't have this.

In a lot of places here, they have a small reflective blue sign with reflective white numbers mounted on a metal stake (like a snow fence stake) that is driven into the ground in the utility right of way. It’s voluntary and only with your consent but so easy for emergency responders to find your place. UberEats, too.

I’ve already arranged for one at your new place. It will come in handy when @Blue Streak and I have you SWAT’d after you and Annie move in. ? You’ve ordered it, right Larry?

I have silver numbers that were taken off before the stucco was painted but never did get around to putting them back on... :frown: Don't want to miss any Amazon deliveries... :wink:

What's strange is ours were black letters and you'd think with the sun beating on them (mine were facing south) all day they'd have faded quickly. After 17 years they still looked new. :shock:

Not my house but this is where every house has them on the garage.

Here, most have them on their mailbox just like it was back in MA. In AZ just about every community has those group mailboxes at the beginning of the street which I always hated. Mostly because the mailman never came at the same time (they were always changing their routes and people) so when you were waiting for something you never knew when it was there. Annie's desk is right in front of the window and she can see when it's delivered which is pretty much on time every day at 9:30am.

I knew I should've moved into a gated community!:facepalm:

Our community was converted to group boxes about ten years ago so no more numbers on individual boxes. Thieves can get more stuff now by breaking into them... :bandit:

Back to pics anyone? Merry Christmas to all my fellow boat nerds and all the boat guys and girls out there working. May Santa bring you lots of boats (or maybe some taconite or limestone). Below that is the Paul Tregurtha at 1,013.5 feet, arrived Duluth MN with a bank of sea smoke (vapor) in the distance. December 21, 2024

Picked up some items at my favorite food store...almost always better prices than Sprouts and Whole Foods. Crazy busy in this store...easy to bump into someone.
