Ways to tell you're in the Diocese of West Texas

I stopped at a traffic light the other day, and took a careful look at the car in front of me. It was a laborer's pickup truck--long bed, four doors, with chipped white paint, a multitude of small dents and scratches associated with moving heavy loads. One of those huge round steel bumpers, with a massive tow hitch. Pipe, or lumber, or something, sticking out the back.

It was the bumper stickers that caught my attention, though:

"Bush-Cheney 2000"

"W for President 2004"

"I only fish on days ending in Y"

"Proud member of the National Rifle Association"

aaaaaaand...

"The Episcopal Church welcomes you"

The "W" lovin' Bumper Sticker Dude was probably a tourist from the Diocese of Fort Worth...
