\u00a0Quick! Guess where I took this picture:<\/p>\n

A) Provo, Utah<\/p>\n

B) Plano, Texas<\/p>\n

C) Alabama<\/p>\n

D) St. Paul<\/p>\n

If you guessed “D,” you’re right. Or should I say, you’re correct.<\/p>\n

On a related (though not strictly correlated) note, I drove 2.1 miles down St. Clair Avenue today: counted 26 signs that said “Vote No” on the upcoming no-marriage-for-gays ballot initiative. Well, on of them said “Another Catholic Voting No,” but I’m counting that, too. Actually, I think that one is pretty awesome, because it shows the Catholic chose to break ranks with Emperor Palpatine.<\/p>\n

Above: Emperor Palpatine<\/p>\n

I also counted one “Vote Yes” sign. The funny thing is that it’s on a duplex’s lawn and the other tenant of the duplex (I assume) put a “Vote No” sign in the yard.<\/p>\n
