I removed his neighbors name before allowing his post. Thus the censorship. If you're not familiar with Sam's neighbor, you might want to ask him to give you a demo of the "demo site". Hi Norine,

I am glad to see you were able to control yourself somewhat. Hi Sam and Norine,

Oh My! Over regulation and now censorship! What is Idaho turning into? Editing the name took all the humor out of it! But since this is a small town, everybody knows where I live and who's backyard I see across the beautiful river, ...between the Theater ...and the Church. OK, OK. (censored again!) I promise I will NEVER go back to California, so please don't "ordain" me out of business. Thanks for your support Norine.

Signs definitely have their place and if worded well make life a lot less stressful when you are looking for something. ------For instance like my property which is for sale. The sign (which I keep well dug out from snow) will tell who ever is interested exactly where they can go for more information. It clearly states who can help them through their viewing and hopefully buying process!! Now if that sign was not there with that information what would happen?? Either the interested party would stand there and scratch their heads wondering if they were at the right place and if they determined they were what then? Would they decide to come and knock on my door catching me more often than not unprepared? (not a pretty sight !!) Sam’s signs look attractive, I have two of them on the private road before my house asking people to go slow. Sam and Sandie personalized them for me and they are really cute and tasteful. My GVP for sale sign in front of my house, well I think I addressed that in the first paragraph, It works for me. Norine. I agree with Sam.

I agree that appropriate signage plays an important part in our culture. It's not signs, in general, that I don't like. It's, as you say, the application. Indeed, there are two of these large signs on a residence in town. Please don't go back to California. We all appreciate your business being in town. And we love your sense of humor. You funny guy.

It's how I support my family, and in a small town like Crouch you need all the business you can get. I agree with David, a 4X8 foot sign IS way too big for in your Yard David. But the properties using the big signs are Acreages, not yards, and the large size is necessary for visibility and readability from a great distance away. You and Kathy should Look at a letter recognition chart sometime, we use them every day. Why pay for a sign to sell your property if it can't be read. If the signs you are complaining about appear too big to you, it's because they were "misapplied" and put too close to the road. But don't blame the sign, and outlaw it, blame the "applicator". And I guess Sara is waiting for me to go out of business. I hope she can find her way around in an unfamiliar town without any signs. But she won't be going anywhere because traffic will be halted in her world, without any signs. People are so accustomed to signs and their usefulness that they don't even think about them and how they help them. Just stop and imagine Sara's world with no signs for a moment and you'll see how rediculous it is (unless your a Caveman) (No offense, Guys on TV) And lastly, Kathy, I moved to Idaho 15 years ago when OVER REGULATION made it nearly immpossible to operate a business profitably and drove me out of my home in California. Now, Schwarzenegger is running TV commercials in Idaho, begging us all to come back. Sorry Arnie, not this guy. Just the word "Ordinance" makes the hair on my neck stand up. PLEASE, don't make me leave Garden Valley for the same reason, I love it here too, signs or not. We still have plenty of Rural Character. I wake up every morning to delight in the views of mountains, forest, streams, birds and ?????????? backyard. Put that in your Ordinance! And Kathy, we ARE putting the link to your blog on our site. Thanks for the reciprocal. Could you link it to our home page and not just the camera? Watch your hit count go up! Thanks again, Sam Hi,
