Bumper stickers seen on my dog walks

"The best thing you can spend on your child is your time"

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" - Eleanor Roosevelt

"You're perfect just the way you are"

"All the freaky people make the beauty of the world"

Not a single political sticker seen over a 3 mile route.

The lack of candidate stickers may mean that people aren't very politically involved.

That's not to say the entire city is apolitical or friendly, but most who visit here are pleasantly surprised.

I suspect it's because a lot of people don't like the mess on their cars. Everyone has shiny cars here.

Perhaps in Boise people are a little chary about putting Clinton or Sanders stickers on their cars, but those stickers are making a political statement nevertheless.

a few decades ago in Topeka, KS. For some context, at the time my mom and I were at each others' throats continually. We could not be around each other any length of time without getting into it. She used to screech at me "I can't reach you!" and I'd come back with "That's because you're always wrong!"

Anyhow, I was stopped at a traffic light and saw a bumper sticker in front of me that said:

"You're ugly and your mother dresses funny."

It was a great moment. I still laugh about it all these years later.

My favorite is a DUMP TRUMP sticker on a car in my neighborhood. Quite a few Bernie stickers. I've seen one Hillary sticker (in the neighborhood).
