On the west side of the town, when traveling westbound a smallish (3\u2019 x 3\u2019 or thereabouts) sign or billboard can be seen.<\/p>\n
On that sign, the following text appears (unfortunately, I haven’t located a photo of the sign online, and didn’t take one myself): <\/p>\n
JESUS<\/p>\nJESUS <\/p>\n
JESUS<\/center><\/p>\n
I can just hear the late George Carlin now: “Considering the town\u2019s name, I\u2019m not really sure what to make of that sign.” (smile)\t<\/p>\n
Also, for what it’s worth: just off the same road (US 84), there’s another small town in Georgia named “Jakin”. Per Google Maps, it’s 41 miles from Jakin to Climax – but you can shorten that to a bit over 37 miles if you really want to and know what you’re doing.<\/p>\n
Make of that what you will. (smile)<\/p>\n

OK, enough travel oddities for today. Enjoy the WOT, everyone \u2013 and the weekend.<\/p>\n
