Wrong sign
I suspect that The Lady thinks I'm crazy for allocating any brain-space to this: but, I dislike incorrect language.
This is a sign at the local McDonald's:
So: if it said "Open 24/7" or "Open 24-7", that would be correct: it's repeating a common phrase -- which omits the (implied) units (hours per day; days per week).
And if it said "Open 24 hours, 7 days", I would accept that: it would mean "open all the time".
BUT -- because they included the units ("hours"), at the end of the "24/7" -- it now reads "Open 24/7 hours" -- which is 3.43 hours.
That's not very long.

Bus wisdom
Saw this scribbled on the upper wall of the bus today. No idea what it means -- but it intrigues me.
Might make a good song lyric.
You may have to click on the photo to be able to read the text at the beginning.
I don't approve of vandalism, of course. But, interesting, none the less.

P.S. Googled it. Ah.
Still odd.
