1950s...Holiday Inn....1990s...Comfort Inn.

Of the construction sign "Slow Down, My Daddy Works Here". A subtle suggestion appealing to the notion that not all human life is of equal worth?

If Moses prefigured Jesus but was greatly overshadowed by Him, then the same can be expected of Christ's Baptism compared to circumcision and Christ's Eucharist compared to the manna the Israelites received.

Update: Roz of In Dwelling makes an excellent point... I was thinking the construction signs were there reminding us that not all construction workers are young singles (which I was one till the relatively late age of 36), but Roz expains:
I think it's a good thing to break into our "people are interchangable parts" mentality with a reminder that those machines by the side of the road are piloted by genuine people who love, marry, worship, sin, go bowling, and mean something special. I like it a lot better than the "Fines Doubled in Construction Zones" sign, as if all that would appeal to us is preserving our pocketbooks.
