While in Central City last week, the wife and I noticed a few interesting signs.

First off, was a curbing sign for a jewelry store.

But they spelled it "Jewelery."

I kid you not.

Now, if this was to become your line of work, your profession, don't you think you would at least learn how to spell it? I mean, I often mistype "wildlife" and "biologist" because my fat fingers are trying to fly too fast on the keyboard, but I know how to spell both words.

Would you buy jewelry from someone who can't spell the word? (And no, they're not trying to be British about it. Yes, the British variation of that word inserts the third 'e', but they also throw in a second 'l', just for good measure. "Jewellery".)

I mean, this is a trade where you expect the proprietor to be knowledgable in their craft. To know high quality vs low quality gems, their cut, and proper settings. If the person can't spell "jewelry", do you think they know all that other stuff?

I don't.

Another sign that got us wondering about that community, as we passed it several times, was the "Baby Exchange".

Now, I was always under the assumption that once you got a baby, that was yours. Boy, girl, bipolar or redhead, that's what you got. But apparently in this city they allow you to trade your baby in for another one.

Now why didn't someone tell us that earlier? I mean, there were plenty of times when I would have considered it worth the two hour drive to see if we couldn't upgrade what we had.

And is there an age limit on those? Can you still trade 'em in after, oh, say, 17-20 years?

Just wondering.

There was a "Baby Trading Post" just a block or two away. Just how much baby trading is going on in that community to support two completely different baby businesses?

Or does the "Trading Post" differ by allowing you to trade your baby for something of equal value, like a snowmachine? Or a new GPS?

We noticed the "Baby Exchange" was run by a baby seller named Heather, and that she promised "gently worn kids", which is certainly lesser quality than "brand new", but I guess if they're going to be used kids, "gently worn" would be preferable.

And then there was this sign

At Hermano Roberto's Mexican Grille.

Would you eat there? Could you afford to?

I mean, if it costs $5.49 just for the freakin' menu, imagine what the meals must cost!
