We are grateful for the clarification of the second sticker provided by this ethnic commuter. Americans are hardly the most traveled people. What if we were to assume that they were Chinese? The red dragon does show up often on our boxes of fried rice. Such a revelation evokes an altogether different hankering for bland, over-cooked potatoes and lamb with mint sauce. Do the Welsh enjoy a proud tradition? After all, they are far less militant Brits than, say, the Basques of Spain, the Chechens of Russia and even less threatening than the Québécois of Canada.
Then again, who can argue with the beauty of Swansea or Tenby? Certainly we dare not question the brilliance of Dylan Thomas, especially if Seamus Heaney refused to. Of course we leave such questions to you, if you are willing to "begin at the beginning."
