Just when you think you know someone

I have had the pleasure of knowing Chris Browne since he moved to Sioux Falls, but I had no idea he did one of my favorite toons (above) in 1978.

I know this exhibit was last January, but still worth the watch.

Gee I wonder why?

Interesting;

The city’s Board of Ethics has postponed its meeting scheduled for today at 3:30 p.m. in the first floor Commission Room at City Hall. The new date hasn’t been determined.

I wonder if it has anything to do with Kermit requesting a written apology from the board? The city attorney told Kermit he wouldn’t get it until after January 1st because of the ‘holidays’. I guess the easiest way to avoid the letter is to postpone a meeting in which it would certainly be a topic.

You mean I have to yield to oncoming traffic when I make a left turn?

Another confusing traffic intersection in Sioux Falls

The City of Sioux Falls Engineering Division will hold a news conference at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, December 1, 2010, at the intersection of 60th Street North and Marion Road to explain a new type of left turn signal operation that will be installed in the city of Sioux Falls.

The new left turn signal operation will use a “flashing yellow arrow” instead of the “green ball” indication during the permissive left turn phase of operation. When the yellow flashing arrow is on, motorists can make a left turn after yielding to all oncoming traffic and pedestrians in the crosswalk. The new traffic signal at 60th Street and Marion Road, that will be turned on shortly, will be the first signal in Sioux Falls featuring this type of operation.
