All I saw Monday was the downed post, apparently knocked down by someone who drove over it, or into it, making the turn from northbound Calapooia on to eastbound First.From the faint tire mark on the concrete sidewalk, it kind of looked like someone cut the corner too tight. Here’s hoping they weren’t going fast and that nobody got seriously hurt.—–Completely unrelated, except symbolically: This might be a good time to mention that there have been technical difficulties with this website. It has been down for part of the last few days.People trying to access hh-today instead saw messages such as “forbidden” and “fatal error.”This seems to be the result of what has been described to me as a “relentless onslaught of attempts from around the world trying to poke holes in and compromise the website. This activity alone could trip security alarms and cause the site to be super slow or go offline altogether like it has.”I don’t know what brought on this automated attack. All I know is that suddenly, a bunch of years-old stories were “trending.”This made no sense. The stories were not that interesting when I wrote them in 2023. Nobody would have an interest in them now.Anyway, the problem seems to have been fixed, at least enough so I can post this story about the broken sign post I saw on Monday afternoon.
