Day 95 - Open to interpretation
You learn something new every day, and my something new for today was a Hi Cop Stop sign, (minus the "reserved parking" part) as we approached a Welcome/Rest stop along the highway. Wondering what the heck a Hi Cop Stop was... a place to say "hi" and get to know the local constabulary? A hi-gh concentration of policemen? A private police party spot? ... 
... we pulled in to investigate and maybe say "hi" to a trooper. ;) The more we thought about it, the more we remembered that this particular rest stop, on Route 70 near Myersville, was the one where the Beltway snipers, who killed 10 and critically injured 3 in their 2002 killing spree in the DC/MD/VA area, were apprehended. Upon further consideration, we decided it was probably a bit of both the first and second guess, but it tickled my funny bone at first glance.

I don't know what it means but it is interesting and a little disturbing
