HOV Lane Stickers: first use; and Bumper Sticker Poll

[drscott]

...returning via 101 from Stanford Hospital at 5:30 PM. Mountain View: same speed all lanes (about 15 mph). Thereafter HOV lane cleared up, but so did the others. Total time saved: 10 minutes at most. No dirty looks. Skipped going to the gym since it was too late.

Now I have to decide whether to decorate the silver Prius to express my gayitude. My old car had this rainbow strip on the bumper:

I was only harassed once because of it, in the countryside on the way to Monterey. But I'm thinking the rainbow does not work with metallic silver. How about the HRC logo:



People may have mixed feelings about their recent effectiveness, but it's a very common sight around here. Or we could have the rainbow flag itself:



Which still clashes, but so does the HRC logo. Then there's Lambda Legal's logo:



Subtle -- probably too subtle, since nobody recognizes it. Colors work, though. Then there are whimsical possibilities like the Gay Curling logo:


Or something nonsequiturish like:

Comments and alternative ideas welcome. And of course I'd do the fish-with-wrench Evolve thingie if I were inclined to bother. Not that I'm going to pay any attention to what you folks think....

Though I prefer the strip over the flag, I still like the rainbow over HRC. You could put the flag on a magnet, then place and remove (outside) as necessary. I find that we've been picked on more having the sticker on our car, than those without. (Example - in JC, you are supposed to leave some amount of feet empty on each corner. Cars are parked closer to each corner, yet only we get a ticket?)

It's certainly possible the local law enforcement community would tend to enjoy harassing you via slective enforcement. Not a problem around here, fortunately.

Magnetic stickers are a good idea. I'll look.
