Road Bits

Last week I saw two interesting license plates. I will try to illustrate the first with ASCII art: (Pardon the periods. I had some spacing issues.)

Hopefully you can tell which part is the plate and which part is the frame.

The second one said "Spyde32." It was a silver Jetta which was stuffed full of Spiderman stuff. Spiderman decals, two inflatable Spidermans (? Spidermen? Spell check doesn’t like either one.) on the rear windshield, and a rather large stuffed Spiderman riding up front with her. It was a little creepy.

On the way home tonight traffic was all backed up on 80W just before the bridge by a stalled ... tow truck. What is this world coming to when the solution becomes part of the problem?
