Day 119
A puzzling sign
July 23rd, 2010
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
Hmmmm….
I’m considering that nice green hill and those nicely stacked round hay bales.

The paragrapg under EUREKA-FORTINE explains the name.
Send a smoke signal to white man to tell him about Tobocca Road!
I still don’t get the “All Things Considered” line.
Maybe they were featured on the NPR show “All Things Considered”, and they put it on their sign just to remind everyone. Just a guess.
me neever
paragraph not paragrapg SHERLOCK!
tobacco also – what are you smoking SHERLOCK?
Matt does this on purpose ya’know…he’s got a plethora of conundrums…mile after mile…
Herefords are steer aren’t they? And the valley you’re in is a tobacco valley that Indians raised their tobacco crops. So, all things considered, they have cattle. I think.
Herefords are cattle, but Native Americans nor anyone else ever grew tobacco in this country, nor were Native Ameicans farmers at all.
Herefords are indeed a type of cattle…your theory makes total sense Dorinda. :) That’s great considering right there.
No, no, no… :) All things considered, these particular Herefords are the BEST! That’s what it means! I’m guessing, but I’ll bet I’m right!
So on this ranchers’ message board ( http://www.ranchers.net/forum/about43180.html ) someone says that “Hereford: All Things Considered” is a slogan on an old AHA poster advertising the breed.
According to current breeder webistes (such as http://www.ontarioherefords.ca ) Herefords are sturdy, fertile and relatively low-maintenance. “What this means is that all things considered Herefords produce more calf for your buck.”
