American education triumphs again

As seen on the back window of a vehicle on my way back from lunch today:

PRUOUD TO BE AN AMERICAN

It was a hand made message using individual block letters -- the kind you might use on a mailbox. I don't recall if it had a college/university sticker on it. It made me wish I brought my camera with me to more places. Sometimes reality is the best amusement.

Hey Scott- that was a good laugh! it took my blonde self a few times reading that until I caught it! Also, thanks for making the links on my postings. It makes it so much more interesting :)

On that quote try hovering your cursor over the word "pruoud". On most browsers you'll get a little popup message.

It's a little fancy schmancy HTML coding. I do it once and a while on unusual words or on links (to tell you what something links to). Did you ever notice that there are similar popups when I include an album thumbnail on the front page?

Russell commented on that "pruoud" spelling and said:

"Pride goeth before the spell checker, I guess"

(with due respect to Proverbs 16:18 -- "Pride goeth before destruction")
