Not actually raining

Gray morning, forecast of showers later, chance of snow up in the hills. 

Not all political signs yet removed.  There's a law, people.  You have one day more . . .

Actually, in Maine there _is_ a law. If it isn't on your own property, you can't remove a campaign sign. Only the candidate or designated campaign staff can do that. Keeps people from trashing the signs of candidates they oppose.

Had a candidate (losing) for county sheriff run afoul of this last year. He was just helping to clean up after the vote . . .

Wow, that really sucks -- both that the law is needed, and that it applies after the election is over.

Well, that sheriff's candidate would likely not have attracted Legal Problems if he hadn't then thrown his competitor's sign in the river.

Littering. And creating a nuisance.

You know.

In Philly, there was a candidate who was famous for not taking his signs down. Eventually, two groups took to defacing the signs in imaginative ways (making him look like Mickey Mouse, etc.). Alas, most campaign signs are too boring for that to work.
