Signs, Signs, Everywhere There's Signs

Road signs, subliminal signs, direct signs, signs from the catcher to the pitcher, signs of spring, and business signs to name a few.

As a soldier, you look for signs as to what your enemy is planning. As women, we are sometimes taught - sometimes learn the hard way, about signs that a guy isn't all that interested in you. I think all of us are currently looking for signs that America's economy is on the mend. As a mother, you look for signs that your infant is content and healthy. As a person living in a cold climate, among ice & snow, you might be looking for signs that warmer weather is coming your way. If you're investing in the stock market, you are on the lookout for signs that your stocks are going to perform well. And as a motorcyclist, you are constantly looking for signs from others sharing the road as to their intentions as well as road conditions.

Sometimes the signs are hard to interpret. What exactly does it mean when you see more than a few spiders spinning their webs in your house in the fall?? At other times, we may miss the signs all together. We didn’t see the car’s turn signal until they were in our lane. And still we may see the signs yet choose to ignore their meaning….  He hasn’t called, emailed, sent a text, faxed or even poked you on Facebook, but you know he loves you… He just needs a chance to see it!!

To make matters even more complicated, sometimes our attitude plays a part on how we read the signs. The optimist sees signs of spring after a long, hard winter; the pessimist sees a shortened summer. The opportunist makes the best out of every nice/warm weather day she has!! It can be as complicated or as simple as you make it.

Right now the B.O.B. Sisters are anxiously looking for signs of spring. I just checked the weather forecast looking for warmer temperatures – sadly there are none at the moment, but I realize this is still only late February. We’ve been planning our road trips, looking forward to riding with each other out in the summer sun! The B.O.B.s are also adding a new sign to our name- the trademark sign.

A trademark, according to Wikipedia, is a distinctive sign or indicator, used by an individual, business organization, or other legal entity, to identify that the products or services with which the trademark appears originate from a unique source, and to distinguish its products or services from those of other entities. To the left are some trademarked signs that I'm sure you'll recognize - the Harley-Davidson Bar & Shield logo being among them! Now we B.O.B.s will be among that group! The B.O.B. Sisters – Battery Operated Boyfriends, have always been unique, without a doubt!! And now we will have a sign that will prove it to the rest of the world!!

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live! ~Bob Marley

I don’t know if Bob Marley ever rode a Harley, but he definitely seems to be expressing a similar thought to the one I’m trying to convey here.

Those that are B.O.B.s have shown the signs that we are here to stay. That we are here for each other, always & forever. And we are a group of women that can seem intimidating if you misread the signs, but take the chance and get to know us - I think you may see us differently once you do. At the very least, I don't think you'll ever forget us!!
