OK, first a little explanation. Super Duper was the
convenience store portion of the gas station we stopped at, and Sumas is the
Northernmost city in the US,
right on the Canadian border. Apparently
SD (Super Duper) is pretty proud of Sumas, and wants you to “Shop, hangout, and
party!”. The problem with this is the only
places to shop are gas station convenience stores, the only places to hangout
were the parking lots, and if we were partying, it would have to be in the
parking lot after buying a case of Bud Light. But hey, city pride, good for
them. Also, are butter, cheese, wine, yogurt, and energy drinks illegal in Canada? Why do
they need to cross border shop?
We stopped at one of the many dams in the Cascade
mountains and were greeted with this sign. Whoever wrote the sign did a fine job,
because the last thing I wanted to do was go exploring downriver of the dam and
have a torrent of water wash me away.
My new favorite bumper sticker we saw today in Montana. Of all the states I’ve been to (47), Montana might have the
most independent streak of them all judging purely from billboards and yard
signs. There are a couple possible
interpretations of “We Don’t Dial 911” with a revolver next to it. The most obvious is probably if you break
into their house or threaten them, they probably already have a .357 or higher
caliber weapon on their person and won’t hesitate to serve you a lead
salad. But how far do they stretch it?
If you get in a car crash and get a head laceration will they walk up and put
you down like a horse with a broken leg?
When grandpa has a heart attack in his rocking chair do they break out
the Smith & Wesson with a “Sorry pops, you know the rules” and send him
packing to see St. Peter? I guess it would be tough to fit “We Don’t Dial 911
except in situations where it would be inappropriate to use lethal force as a
solution” on a bumper sticker.
OMG! LMAO!
