Thoughts from the road

I drove east from Indiana into Ohio yesterday afternoon. If I were cool like my friends I'd blog from the road on my phone (yeah, that'd be safe). But I'm not (cool, that is--I'm safe enough I suppose), I got home too late to type on my laptop and I'll share the random thoughts that remain some 24 hours later.

The new Indiana license plates really are bad. Downright atrocious. It pleases me that Ohio's tags at least complement my car.

The District of Columbia's plates say "Taxation Without Representation" on the bottom. I never knew that. Seems awfully cheeky for what is fundamentally a government issued document. But I like cheeky.

Countless cars (ok, about 5) passed me yesterday fitting this description: Guy driving. Windows down. [female friend / girlfriend / wife] reclined in the passenger seat with feet up on the dash or hanging out the window. Inexplicably I find this endearing. It made me smile every time.
