With a license plate "HATRAK 6" (or some other number, I don't remember) and was in Rockford, Illinois this morning?

You drove straight past where I work, so I got to tail you for a bit. I hope it's someone here, otherwise I think I just made some people think I was a bit crazy. [Wink]

You probably just caught the Cards visiting. [Smile]

That would have been quite cool - too bad I was in no position to see who was driving, crazy driver or not. [Evil]

Hey! If it was one of you guys, I'm going to be really peeved that you didn't contact Dan or me to meet you for lunch or something!

[Grumble]

Some people.

Strangely enough on the night of my wedding, as my wife and I drove back to town from High Point to Greensboro, we were passed by a car whose personalized license plate could only point to our esteemed host.

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

one time I got stuck behind a car with a plate that read "DSM-IV".

Someone is a bit obsessed with THEIR job.

I saw a car the other day with the license plate QRL 189.

How weird is that?

Posted by Dead_Horse (Member # 3027) on :

Hey, Mack! That must have been me. And it's not my job, it's my diagnosis. [Cool]

Sopwith, if it said "Ender" or "Alvin", it WAS a member of my family [Smile]

Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :

I dunno why I find that so amusing. [Big Grin]

Posted by Sopwith (Member # 4640) on :

Yep Geoff, lean black Crown Vic with Ender on it, flew by us like a revenant in the night on a lonely patch of highway. [Cool]

Probably blew by to keep from getting covered with shaving cream and toilet paper.

Talk about an odd night, passed by Greensboro's best living writer, then stayed in a hotel named after G-boro's own O. Henry. Perhaps, someday if I keep at it, another Greensboro author was in my car...

(One can only hope, although I'm losing my faith in it a bit)

I drive by a Bosch tool factory every day on my way to work. Apparently they also make Dremel and Skil brands according to the fine print on their sign. However for a long time they were changing signs and had removed the "B" and the "H" so as I drove by it for about 2-3 weeks it said OSC in capital letters on the front. I should have taken a picture but I didn't [Frown]

Sopwith, it's actually blue, but it was night, so I suppose it probably looked black.

But yeah, that was my dad [Smile]

Thanks Geoff...at least from now on I'll know if I've been passed by a card-carrying Card family member. (My Lord, you've probably heard every varation of that joke by now). I would have been really surprised if it had been a Card...Illinois is a fairly long haul from Greensboro.

Darn right you should have photographed that sign, AJ! Ahh, whattheheck...no worries. [Big Grin]
