Bumper Philosophies

I have a fascination with bumper stickers, those ultra-condensed snippets of philosophy. I don't know about you, dear (hypothetical) readers, but there isn't anything--not a sports team, not a religion, not a political candidate, and certainly not a 10-word clever phrase or innuendo-- that I've been so passionate about that I wanted to permanently adhere it to my multi-thousand dollar vehicle. It absolutely fascinates me to see the issues that people feel compelled to post on their cars.

When I named this blog knitsmith-wordpurl, my intention was to use it as a space for not only my knitting (mis)adventures but my fascination with words and writing.

Yeah, for now, until you have to carry that little oxygen tank with you wherever you go. Idiot.
