Green Prayer Flag

I love prayer flags. I'm not a Buddhist; I wish I were so disciplined. But I do love their flags. In the garden, in the house, you name it.

The other day I was driving past a used car lot and I saw one of those strings of flags, the triangles, all different colors, that you always see at used car lots. All of a sudden the connection seemed so obvious: they have to be based on prayer flags. Right? I mean, they're quite similar, and I'm sure the used car lot flags didn't come first.
