on a american-made FSP with clearly soft tires, and whose beer-
bellied owner sitting at a bench nearby started with "can I help you
with somethin', buddy?" as I lined up for the picture. All about
attitude and screw everybody else, I guess.

LOL A real winner.

In the photo what is the barely visible triangle with three equally intersecting lines located over the tread of the spare? - Dale

That's Al's watermark. He puts it on every photo he takes.

I figured as much but started looking for equilateral triangles with bisecting lines just out of curiosity and another excuse to not mow the lawn yet. What I found was mind numbing mathematics, some was historical and some was artistic but all mind numbing.

In his defense, it'd raise my eyebrows if someone stopped to take a photo without my permission, too...

Me too, maybe, but I think people get a pass when you have a ridiculous bumper sticker. Maybe he forgot it was there.
