Heh... I was driving down the freeway one time when I suddenly realized that the car next to me was my old Accord. Same license plate and everything. Of course I wanted to wave or something... but thought better of it. No way to get the message across without looking like a complete lunatic.
Update on that friend who died... turns out it was probably pneumonia, and it was Monday. Going to the service tomorrow.
So I’m sitting here in the airport bar at SFO, just had a nice bit of conversation with a young National Guardsman named Alan and his lovely wife. He’s just back from his second tour in Iraq. They’re on their way to Las Vegas for the weekend.
What fine people we have doing these things.
Heh...perzackly.
My plates were still on the van at the dealership, which struck me as odd. I guess it's a WA thing? But then, back home you can transfer plates to the next car you own, and so on and so forth. And it's cheaper than getting new plates, generally. I didn't think I'd be allowed that option because of the van being considered a "light truck" instead of a car for registration purposes, but I did ask when I was figuring costs at the Honda place. They acted like I'd asked 'em to help me pass some counterfeit bills... :-\
