What) Although I am always on the lookout for signs that
incorporate
the names of people I know,
for some reason, I noticed a lot of signs on this trip that
contained
either Nelson or Sunshine. I started taking pictures of
them in
Florida and eventually stopped in Indiana even though I had
more
opportunities after that.
Where) Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana
Why) Just another one of my weird habits I suppose.
It
all started with this beautifully painted but misspelled van
in Myakka
City Florida. I suppose it helped that Pam owns a cleaning
business.
Of course, there were also the ubiquitous Florida licence
plates that
I once again forgot to photograph.

In
St. Mary's, Georgia we drove up to the Sunshine truck
plaza which also
had signs for ...
...
the Sunshine grill and ...
...
another sign for the Travel Plaza. Do you know why there
is a dot over
the second S?
This
one was on the highway near Portsmouth, Ohio.
This
last truck was on Highway 35 in northern Indiana.
Here's a couple of 2006 pictures of the real Nelson
Sunshine. I
was his regular bridge partner for over a year. (1)
