More Signs

Signs come in many forms, some may be informative, some may be figurative, then there are the literal, and the ironic, you get the point, they are everywhere. Example, today is the anniversary of D-Day, that could be considered a sign of the beginning of the end of Hitler's Nazi Germany. Today is also the anniversary of the Great Ritzville Fire and the Great Seattle Fire, in 1888 and 1889 respectively. Now considering most western cities had burned to the ground at some point during the mid to late 1800's, starting with Chicago and ending with who knows. Those great fires were a sign to stop building your cities from wood, oh and to make sure you have adequate water pressure and fire fighting infrastructure. The Ritzville and Seattle fires are nice object lessons for those who fail to notice the signs.
