IJBM: People on AARoads constantly asking about "official" Highway Gothic fonts.
No, there is no "official" font set. The FHWA typefaces date to the 1940s, long before digital type. They were published as drawings in the Standard Highway Signs manual so they could be reproduced accurately by sign makers. Then when digital sign design came along, the vendors of various sign CAD programs implemented their own fonts based on the drawings. None of these fonts are recognized as "official" because, as before, the only "official" requirement is that the letters (roughly) match the drawings in the SHS book.

...Why is my MyFonts sample text set to "ABC LIONSGATE"?

Presumably, but I can't remember when that was and it kinda bugs me.

Earlier I was lying down and I had a random memory of eating at a McDonald's on Sawmill Road in Dublin when I was a kid--some time in the mid-late-'90s.
My dad and brother and I were there without my mother, who was still at work at an office building down the street.

Star Mart?
Also I see you've picked up my habit of naming streets.

Ah.
There are a couple McDonald's-and-also-Shell-stations around here. They usually have a full-size McDonald's in addition to the convenience store. Complete with drive-thru that gets your orders wrong.
(The one I can think of off the top of my head is on SR 256 in Reynoldsburg)

The McDonalds nearest the house used to mess up our orders almost every time.
And yet we would still go there every weekend. *shrug*

I associate Burger King with Apple.
There is a reason for this, mainly because after getting a new iPod in 2008, my family immediately went to Burger King for lunch.

I can't remember what "Huntington Park" is covering and it drives me insane.

It's not actually red, it just looks that way because of how I tried to correct the poor lighting of the photo.
It's brown, because a ballpark is a recreational destination.

Brown is specified for "recreational and cultural interest" signs, which does include parks, but also includes things like ballparks, amusement parks, museums, and tourist attractions.

I'm running out of road sign pictures to blabber about.
I need to go somewhere while someone else is driving so I can take some more...

There's a lot of things wrong with it. the radius of the rounded corners doesn't match up, there's virually no space around "2000 Feet", "Feet" is in mixed-case for some unknown reason, and the way it's mounted is just sloppy. (Did they seriously need a fourth pole to support the end of the "2000 Feet" plaque?)

My Lion King DVD got here!
...Which is a reminder that I should probably be checking the mail sometime before my dad gets home at 1:00 AM.

My dad is always messing with his schedule. It's annoying.

Oh well, not a big deal.
But then I remember the studio is desirable because it releases money-making material, not because it has a big library (that's MGM, you know.).

Taco Bell.
I was the only one there.

Don't know why.

...should I link to more news music?
