When we walked up to the mailbox this afternoon, I noticed these markings in a post where the easement meets the main road. I'm not sure what they mean. If I had to guess (based on its girth) I'd say the post is part of an old telephone / electricity pole.
The branding is upside down because that's how it's now oriented. (Also, I must admit that I think that makes a more pleasing image.)
I like finding "writing"-- even if it's a meaningless-to-me code-- on old stone, wood, or metal.
