The Superfluous N



My girlfriend Melinda snapped this photo for me a couple of years ago during an event for kids where they could climb on big trucks and heavy equipment.

This was printed on the side of a City of Rochester garbage truck. By "in progress," I think they meant spell check. I only wish I had a Sharpie with me that day (^n).

Proposed new City of Rochester tagline: We put the mental in enviromental. Oh gosh, is that politically incorrect? I'm aiming low once again. We put the "pain" in Campaign Eleven?

On an unrelated note, albeit to a lesser degree than the rapture, I'm definitely looking forward to "the renaissance" in two years. I like all things heralded by my trash hauler.

A couple of possibilities:
1) I used up all of Rochester's supply of hyphens and what they really wanted to put on the truck was Enviro-Mental but were unable to...
2)they were worried about the impact of consuming too much toxic ink and the 'N' was sacrificed on the altar of environmentalism
