Olema means "Coyote" in Miwok

Some folks might be under the impression that, with my sign, I was proposing a name change to our town. That's wrong. I love the name Olema. It is very special to live in a town with a Native American name. The sign is an artistic expression meant to bring a smile during the election season. Thats all.

I LOVE the sign and think you should be commended for clever, artistic expression with the proper political bent.

Shame on those idiots who complained. Who needs them anyway!!

I think you are just excellent :)

It's always important to keep small town councils from taking themselves too seriously!!

Beyond that - if your sign caused confusion for people driving into Olema, perhaps those are the people who shouldn't be driving into Olema in the first place...and stuff.
