Yes it is almost 2 a.m. and I am wide awake. I'm resisting the urge to go get some coffee. Weird?
So one thing I meant to blabber about is bumper stickers. Have you noticed that some cars have bumper stickers all over? I find this fascinating because we don't do bumper stickers. We prefer vinyl clings that are easily removed. Interesting? Bumper stickers are pretty much there until they wear off or you work hard to get all the sticky off. They proclaim our interests: Get Outdoors!, Pack Rat, I'd rather be [fill in the blank]. They proclaim our political leanings: Palin/McCain 2008, Biden/Obama 2008, Fire them All, Help Wanted: Congressman or Senator. They may announce our love of local, i.e. Keep Fayetteville Funky, Support your local farmers market. Lots of stickers announce hobbies: Scuba diving, fishing, bicycling, or running. Tons of stickers give a shout out to your alma mater: K-State Wildcats, Fayetteville Bulldogs, Peabody Warriors, Arkansas Razorbacks, or KU Jayhawks. Or your favorite sports team: KC Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, New Orleans Saints. (So those are all football teams. I guess you can tell what sport is my favorite?) You can tell a lot about the person in the car by their bumper stickers. Like I mentioned before, we like to keep our cars sticker free if we can. We have a cling stating that we are K-state Alum. The only actual sticker I think we have on a vehicle is for Boys Can Smoke. Now don't get me wrong I think bumper stickers can be cool. I've wanted to adorn my car with a Save the Tatas sticker. I've also wanted to Keep Fayetteville Funky. Maybe I'm just not willing to commit. A sticker can be kind of permanent. Maybe I'm not ready to throw myself whole heartily into a cause. So for all of you out there that Would Rather Be Golfing, Saving the Whales, or just have a really great sense of humor (you know who you are 'if you can read this get off my ***!), I salute your commitment. You keep me entertained and wondering. Thanks!
