least necessary plaque ever

[redbird]

I'm rereading John McPhee's Assembling California. Near the end, he describes a visit to a ruined winery:

Outside was a bronze plaque mounted on a freestanding wall of unreinforced masonry. It bore the words "San Andreas Fault has been designated a Registered Natural Landmark."

Oh I love that book. Read it at the end of my California year, and by then I knew most of the places he describes. It's almost poetry in places.
