Do you like the things that life is showing you?
No, actually, the real question is:
Do you notice license plates? Do you notice where they are from and wonder
how someone from that location got to be in your town? Do you ever try to memorize license plate numbers---other than your--- own to test your memory?
Or am I just a super-freak????

No...I don't bother about license plates...I find it hard to remember license plate numbers...that's why I would be the last person to be called as a witness to a scene of a hit-and-run...

give to Juvenile Diabetes Foundation.

I wonder if people notice my plate when I'm travelling. But living in a college town, I see plates from all over the states and I'm pretty sure most of them are going to school.

every year we get numerous vehicle license plates stolen from Villanova. People collect out of state tags I guess. What they do not realize is that they are considered stolen property.

I always look at license plates. I don't try to remember them, I just like seeing where people are from.
Whenever I see an Indiana plate, I try to figure out what county they are from. Every county in the state has a 2 number prefix on their plate that is alphabetically assigned. For example, Bartholemew County is 3. Delaware County is 18. Henry County is 33.
I always like to look for people from my home county when I'm travelling.
