Hello, old friend

Wow!! It has been almost a year since my last blog. As I said in the original and first blog of "Cheese and Rice," I don't always finish everything! But, I do enjoy blogging, especially about things that tick me off.

I guess the newest thing that has irritated me recently is vanity plates on cars. UGH! You pay extra for those? "MRPANTZ," ACTLSIZE," MYBOXX," UPSYDE," etc. What is the point of these plates? To let people know what you stand for, or to show people that you indeed have a sense of humor? Or perhaps to tell people you are seeking attention and want to be noticed? Did you ever think that maybe your vanity plate MIGHT be easy for someone to remember in case you decide to flee the scene of a crime? Yes, officer, I saw a green Jeep flee from the scene, with a license plate that said "Good2Go." Hmm....talk about plotting your own demise!

Coming up with clever license plates must be tough. You have to find one that isn't taken already, AND decide if the driver behind you can decipher what "IMALUVMCN"means. If they can't, you can openly giggle that you have "outsmarted" the driver of the Hyndai Accent behind you. Wow.

Cheers!
