“A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds…” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
Apparently, this is the credo of the National Roads Authority’s translation department.
You see, earlier this week, the Shiputzim family spotted two road signs on one of Israel’s northern highways.
Each of the signs was more than blogworthy in its own right.
But the two signs together – situated, as they were, less than a kilometer apart - well, all I can say is that they would’ve warmed Emerson’s transcendental heart…

And in other J-Blogosphere news:
- The latest Kosher Cooking Carnival is available here. Special thanks to Batya for including my Chocolate Chip Surprise Cookies.
- The latest Haveil Havalim is available here. Special thanks to Phyllis for including Meshulam’s tour of Har HaZeitim.
That's one of my favorite quotes. It is not knocking consistency, as in the signs, but unthinking consistency. An example would be someone who will insist on always taking a walk at the same time of day, even if it very hot or raining at the time.
