The License Plate Game

As many of you may (or may not) know, Shelley and I have been playing "The License Plate Game" for the past few months. How does the game work, you ask? Basically, we are trying to see license plates from all fifty states and Washington D.C. It's not a competition or marital rivalry - it's just a while driving pastime. The only rule is that one or both of us needs to actually see the license plate in person - not in a movie or a book. We are very near completion needing only four more (New Hampshire, Delaware, Rhode Island and D.C.).
Anyway, the game has been filled with some surprisingly exhilarating moments. Partially because some cool things have happened, but mostly because we are unbelievably silly. One particular moment of emotional chocolate was when we spotted both Alaska and Hawaii within 45 seconds of each other just a few blocks from our home. YES IT'S TRUE! This moment was followed up with embarrassingly excessive celebratory cheering and applauding (mostly by me). I even called up some friends to let them know.
They were not as on fire for the moment.
Anyway, today was another great event in our diversionary car-gaming career. An incredible treat just one block from our home. We pulled up behind a car from Guam. Guam! People - this is unbelievable!
Allow me to direct your attention to this map:
What are the chances of this happening? There are a mere 170,000 people in Guam... so there are only so many possible cars that even have Guam plates on them! If that doesn't make the hair on the back of your neck stand.... ok, now I'm just kidding.
But seriously, this was an awesome moment.

TPS Reports

While there are many wonderful things that come out of my client relationships, this cartoon does a witty and uncanny job of pointing out some of the not-so-wonderful elements that are often dealt with.
I feel about this cartoon the way many feel about the movie Office Space.
