Every time I think back to growing up in South Florida, I think of all the old ppl looking through their steering wheels of their Big Caddy's and driving up the road in the center lane at 20 to 25 mph.
Indelible memory for me.

Similar problem with the exterior door of the guest house. Weatherstripped the fuck out of it. Put a drip guard on and still a fail. My final step is to put an awning over the door.

Part of the reason I haven't started construction is I think I should just make it a touring/exercise bike. No comfort concessions.
There is a guy down under doing suspension trikes but I haven't relocated his pages yet.

By the oil puddle under it.

These were unwritten laws in college that were never published but one could be shunned if they broke them.

when I lived in quebec, the drink of choice was CR and RC

And grrl, if I was working on that I might try eliminating the cloud and graphic elements and getting the fonts the way I wanted them and in the color... prolly Reflex blue and then working back from there... you want a font color that will pop off the page... brown for signage to me is always a little too camo.
Add a graphic element only after you have the font and the relationship from one to the other worked out to your satisfaction.

A planet or moon? Diameter about 1/5 the width of the blue sky area.

I should think that arizona has lots of those. it seems to be a major migratory destination for canadian retirees, as much as florida

You could work from or try to incorporate this font in some way... since it came from the '50's show check out the site...
"Out of the clear blue of the western sky... comes Sky King."
(lose the woodgrain but that font family would work well, especially in a lighter font)
site: Sky King-Out Of The Clear Blue Of The Western Sky comes.... SKY KING!

The top is my fave so far, and I think ah munna stick with some variation thereof. It uses two variations of the same font.
The application will primarily be web-based, so I'm not too concerned about color.
Brown and blue and brown and pink are big now -- and I think they'll stay that way for quite a while.

You could reverse out the entire cloud with the element and overlay the text.

the bubbles look a bit abbreviated, though
could maybe move the bubbly bit down some (so you're into smaller circles) rather than cutting it there, and remove or complete the truncated ones
