Platelets
I just have a thing for license plates. I can't explain it any more than I can explain being heterosexual. It just is, and since I have the technology to track and share my obsession, you know, why not?
| Plate | Date | Location | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| KAFKA | 5 May 2004 | Dulles, VA | I wonder if the trunk was filled with Samsonite luggage. |
| GEEPERZ | 2 May 2004 | I-90 West, Cleveland, OH | Wowzer! I mean—golly! And I wonder who has the correct spelling? |
| EB39AC | 2 May 2004 | Cleveland, OH | One of the first purples I've seen that didn't start with AA, and one of the lightest shades thus far. |
| SAPIENT | 26 March 2004 | Cleveland Heights, OH | Attached to a big ol' Cadillac headed south on Lee Road, in about the same place I saw WHY ME 1. Now I'm on the hunt for SENTIENT. |
| WAFFLES | 21 February 2004 | Cleveland Heights, OH | Affixed to the back of minivan. I'm tempted to break into a rousing rendition of "The Waffle Song." |
| WHY ME 1 | 8 February 2004 | Cleveland Heights, OH | This was a tough one to answer, especially since we were both driving at the time. |
| EIEIEIO | 6 February 2004 | Parking lot of Bo Loong, Cleveland, OH | And on this plate he had a song... |
| AA40BC | 26 December 2003 | I-71 North, mile marker 30 | The colors... so royal. |
| CU81ZT | 25 December 2003 | I-71 South, near mile marker 150 | A randomly assigned plate that left me feeling artistic. |
| I4GOTT | 28 November 2003 | New Jersey | This one had me chuckling for several minutes, and I'm still not sure why. |
| AA65EA | 26 October 2003 | Cleveland, Ohio | Yet more purple. |
| J CHRIST | 26 October 2003 | Cleveland, Ohio | Turns out the Big J drives a black Pontiac Grand Am GT. Who knew? |
| 007 JFK | 22 August 2003 | Cedar Falls, Iowa | This was almost certainly not a vanity plate, as it uses the same pattern as the randomly assigned plates in Iowa. |
| 152 EGO | 22 August 2003 | Cedar Falls, Iowa | Again, just a random plate that caught my eye. |
| ICU PEKN | 7 August 2003 | Cleveland, Ohio | I guess a lot of people look at her plates, but really, with an challenge like that, who wouldn't? |
| IB COOL | 3 August 2003 | I-90 West near East 55th Street, Cleveland, Ohio | This plate was affixed to the back of a Buick Reatta, thus instantly negating its assertion. |
| ZARGON | 31 July 2003 | Cleveland, Ohio | Affixed with a plate holder proclaiming "Terror is my business." As it turns out, the car and plate belong to Rex Hamilton, "consumate interactive haunted house actor and lecturer." Seriously. |
| AA31FF | On or about 23 February 2002 | Cleveland, Ohio | This was the first of Ohio's new plates I saw that triggered pseudo-synaesthesia. See the meyerweb journal entry for 28 February 2002 for the (short) story. |
