Those yellow crossroad signs with a black \"sign of addition\" before \nintersections: I've come to thinking of them as sort of a homage to \nQuadrifons, god of crossroads.  At least, that's what they remind me of.  \nKinda fitting; that's what his name was supposed to be often substituted \nwith, wasn't it?  Yeah, my two bits.  \n\n-Steve\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
