Peace, Love and Traffic

When it's raining really hard in Houston (which it has been all last week) and I'm stuck in traffic on 59 between Shepherd and the downtown spur, I always have one recurring thought: I imagine someone standing on the overpass bridge holding a sign that says "Tell them you love them." For some reason I think that any message about love seen by people sitting in their lonely cars in traffic and in rain, could have the power to mend so many things gone wrong in a person's day.

Naive? Perhaps. But I bet it would change something for the better.

Then the other night I came across this and it made me so happy. Too bad this isn't in Houston. It's actually painted by Stephen Powers along a Philly transit line. But don't you think we need stuff like this here? It would turn all the asshole drivers into something lovely.
