Anyway, just needed to get out of the house was feeling punky. On the way back home we had a guy pull up and signal to roll down our window. "I like your bumber sticker! I'm an old hippie, too!" "Aren't we all" says Beni. I smile. I love driving around in my sunflower yellow Nisson Xterra. I know Beni hates it, even though I have tried to convince him it is much smaller and better on gas than my old SUV. He would have me in a Prius. You need to understand he walks or rides a bike. I'm more of a jeep sorta girl and need something that can pull my tent trailer. I'm a girl with NEEDS!
Anyway you have to picture the bright yellow Nisson with a paddedd green peace sign on the grill and several Peace bumper stickers and deadhead dancing bears on the back. It's a happy car. I get homeless people that hold up a peace hand sign when I drive by and a big smile. Makes me feel good to make people smile. And I always get these old guys pulling up besides me and signaling me to open my window, and everytime I think I have cut them off and they are going to yell at me. Instead, it's always, "I like your stickers!" Me too. Peace and Love!
Note: Check out my June 2007 post for more of my stickers and the old and new SUV.

I love that bumper sticker! The other day I saw a blue bumper sticker that read: "Red sucks." I laughed so, so hard.
(I wish I were coming to Vegas in the near future!!!)
Thanks for your comment on my blog! It seems we have quite a bit in common. I'm a child of Berkeley in the 60's -- a definite "old hippie for peace." (Though when I was a teenager, I became the "white sheep of the family" because... well, how does one rebel against hippie parents?!)
Glad to have found you!

Positive messages, bright colors--when the world seems dark, it's what we all need.
I drive a comfortable but boring navy blue car and my husband would pass out if I put any kind of bumper sticker on it. In his world, that's just NOT DONE. : (
V-Grrl, I am LMAO about the bumper sticker comment. Yea, my hubby was a little surprised with my dancing bears. I just smile and say "it makes me happy!"
Hi! Thanks for the heads-up about getting checked for ovarian cancer! I'm due to have a bunch of testing done soon, so I'll make sure that's on the list.
