BUMP!

Driving back into Worcester on West Boylston Street this morning, I came upon a lane closure that I figured would probably be a Bump Installation Crew. But I was too late. The hole in the road had just been paved over, and the crew was gone.

All that was left was a policeman, a bunch of cones, and the fresh pavement left to cool...

...and one of the more intriguing pieces of temporary signage that I've seen lately.

It's the piece of plywood leaning up against the telephone pole, just to the right of center in the picture. All of the red on the plywood spells out the word "BUMP" but it's on the order of a rorschach test to make it out, due to the funny resolution of the cellphone camera. (You can get a larger image by clicking on the picture.)

I could see this sign from a half a mile away, and I really couldn't believe it. This should be the official "Welcome to Wistah" sign...

I'm sure there's a story behind this, but I sure can't figure it out.
