Totally off-topic, but where did you get your Connor moodtheme?
Mmmmmm, what a delicious quote, & a sweet philosophy! I’m gonna have to check into this Pessoa person*!
Don’t suppose there was a company name on the truck? I’m curious what kind of business would be so enlightened. @>)
*That’s actually a pun. Pessoa means “person” in Portuguese. Unfortunately, though, I don’t know enough of the language to read it in the original.
I didn’t catch the name of the company, I was too busy scribbling down the quote so I could Google it here at work….
I made it myself. I can give you instructions and a zipped copy of the pics if you want.
Hee!
The best sign I saw on the side of a van went…
INTERNATIONAL PLUMBERS
LONDON – PARIS – NEW YORK
but mostly Liverpool
Hee!
