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]

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!

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.

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?

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]

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]
