Sound like something on the menu at your local
pub?

That's what comes to my mind every time I see these
signs along the roads here in the Pittsburgh countryside.
Maybe pita chips and seasoned olive oil?

No, it's a weird local (as far as I know) phenomenon
where in the summer many of the back roads sport these
signs. It means the county (or whoever is in charge of
these roads) is going to put gravel chips and oil on the
roads. I guess it's supposed to do something to keep
them in good repair, but I've always found it odd.

It would make sense on dirt roads, and in fact it is done
on dirt roads also - at least the oil - but this is done
on asphalt roads. Huh? What is that about?

Anyway, the signs have sprouted, warning motorists of the
coming attraction. Some roads have already been done.

I don't know why, but those signs make me hungry.

Maybe I'll invent a new Pittsburgh snack called "Oil and
Chips". Wonder how it will go over?
