For Erica. Here is a variation on Sao Paulo. It doesn't feel right to me, but logically this is how one would write the P hand middle finger on the right hand touching the right temple. Other rotations of the P hand give one some positions that don't look right if one is working with two handed signs as the two hands don't touch when they should or the fingers don't touch the face where they need to. Sao Paulo Here is my variation, which follows the Parkhurst convention, for Perfect. Sometimes you just have to write what feels right.

This is the old one, which isn’t used any more – and there’s a story behind that! This sign refers to spurs on cowboy boots, because Calgary’s biggest claim to fame is the internationally-renowned rodeo called the Calgary Stampede. However, Edmonton and Calgary have a MAJOR rivalry – if you’re from one city, you’re expected to hate everything about the other! In the spirit of that rivalry, the Edmontonian Deaf began joking that the sign was really related to the sign for “garbage” and the Calgary was “garbage”. The Calgarian Deaf, offended, decided to change the sign. This is what they changed it to: Personally, I’m sorry they changed it! The original sign had more character, in my opinion. But I don’t subscribe to the rivalry between the cities . . . much. (smile) Anyway, hope that’s not too many signs all at once!

SignWriting ListMarch 27, 2013 Dear SW List:Recently a Deaf guest from Ireland, Shane Gilchrist, visited us here in La Jolla, and suddenly there were Deaf friends visiting in my home, from all over San Diego! It was a lot of fun for me in particular, because I have been a bit isolated here - I learned a few signs that were new to me. One of them is the name of the city where I live, La Jolla, California. The sign for La Jolla is similar to the sign for California, except the hand stays in one place while shaking… I just wrote it in the ASL SignPuddle Dictionary: http://www.signbank.org/signpuddle2.0/canvas.php?ui=1&sgn=4&sid=1995 What is the sign for YOUR city?
