My nephew spent the first 3 years of his life in Stamford, CT and my brother (his father) is a Yankees fan (JUST LIKE ME! HA!).
When he was in kindergarten (in Groton, MA) the teacher asked what people's favorite sports team was, and specifically told my nephew that perhaps he shouldn't be so vocal about liking the Yankees. (I could see if they told his parents, but it's a sad lesson to teach a kindergartner that there is intolerance).
Having spent a great deal of time in Western Sahara, I saw what looked like coordinates & thought "That's even further out in the middle of nowhere than I was." But I didn't know what that had to do with chutzpah until I looked at other peoples comments and realized that it wasn't about the license plate. I probably should have realized from the framing of the picture, but I'm sure that my subconscious reasoning was that it was framed that way because Tim shot it on the fly with a phone camera & didn't crop it.
