It is an election year. I believe we are all very aware of that as we drive anywhere these days. A certain portion of being successful in a political campaign is name recognition. I read that somewhere, and it must be the true because the yard signs are everywhere. 

There are big ones; there are little ones; and there is everything in between. I live on a busy road in what many would consider to be a possible “prime” sign location, and no one has asked to place a sign in my yard this year. I see some yards with three, four, five or six signs — I think I am feeling left out of the sign marathon.

Or, maybe I am just lucky. Do all of these signs convince me to vote one way or another? Do they make you vote a certain way?
