This driveway was hand-textured as well as hand-marked by J. Bowen, in a nice piece of work.

Notice that the maker had to press a “2” into service as an “S,” but he still blew it. In fact, I’m not too sure about the “C” either. Things like this make me wonder exactly how some of these marks were produced.
