Just Following Orders . . . Or at Least That How It Appears

Last year after the floods in the Pecos, the government came in and erected signs warning travelers of possible hazards.  Flash flood warnings, falling trees warnings, narrow bridge notifications . . . You have seen them before!

As one approaches the Tererro General Store, this is what can be seen.

The exact same sign is erected right in front of its counterpart.  I am sure some lowly worker was told to put the sign up, and rather than argue with the supervisor, just did as he was told.

The frustrations with government are not helped by such stupidity, however.
