Friday Funnies & Not

Here are more vanity plates for the start of  June, which really don't have anything to do a new month, but have just been spotted in recent weeks.

Some plates are easier to figure out than others, which may only have special meaning to the car owner. I've tried to group some whenever possible.

The type of car is reflected in the plates of these cars. The first is a vintage 1957 Chevrolet and the second is a newer Nissan Pathfinder. 

I-75 is a major north-south interstate that starts in Hialeah, FL, and ends at the International Bridge in Sault Ste. Marie, MI, at the Canadian border. While I 80 doesn't pass through the state of Missouri, this plate could refer to a section of Interstate 80 in the state of Missouri or a state route called Missouri Route 80. 

The number f"2" was prominent in all of these plates.

It would most likely not be incorrect to suspect that the owners of these cars are female. 

The owner of the top plate likes football. Does the bottom plate belong to someone who sells meat? 

The messages on these plates were easier to figure out. The question is whether they were descriptive of the car owner or not. 

We could always use more of what's was seen on this plate.

Recently, a friend questioned whether or not it was permissible to post images of license plates on the blog. The friend's opinion was that as they were on privately owned cars, they would be considered private property. While it's true the cars and plates are privately owned if the car and plate is visible in a public area (street or parking lot, then taking a photo is legally allowed. Why? it's because license plates are considered public information since they are displayed on vehicles used on public roads.

However, it's quite a different story if the photo was taken while trespassing on private property, which was not the case for any of these — all were a single photo taken in public parking areas, highways or city streets, which is why some are not as clearly focused. And, clearly, there's a lot of car owners who want to share their names, interests and more.

Eighteen years seem to have gone by quickly, that said, this weekend, we're going on a road trip to neighboring RI for the high school graduation of the oldest grandchild, Bobby. It seems like yesterday that we had attended his kindergarten graduation. The grands are getting older (granddaughters will be 14 and 9 this year), but, we still feel young at heart, if not in other places. 

  Congratulations! Today is your day. You're off to Great Places! You're off and away! *

We're traveling to a neighboring New England state this weekend to attend the high school graduation of the oldest grandchild, Bobby. These 18 years have gone by quickly.  It seems just yesterday that we had attended his kindergarten graduation.

We are proud, as are his parents, of this young man who will be off to college in the fall. Long-time readers of this blog may recall seeing earlier grandson photos, which are not included as often as years ago.

* This is the final line from Oh, the Places You'll Go!, a children's picture book, written and illustrated by Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel). First published by Random House in January 1990, this was the last book published during his lifetime. Since then, it's become a popular gift for graduates of all ages.

Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone

If anyone is also attending a graduation, Enjoy & Celebrate

Thanks too for the well wishes & congrats for our grandson
