I’ve noticed things are a bit quirky here in Guam. They are a little different then what we’re used to and yesterday was a funny example of Guam quirkiness.
FM went to get our license plates for our second car and was told that not only were they no longer doing personalized plates, but they were out of regular plates as well. What? The DMV actually ran out of license plates?! Were the prisoners on strike?
He was then given a book of unclaimed vanity plates to choose from which is a little strange since whoever picked them in the first place might not be pleased that we’re running around with their plates. He was told it would only be $4.00 to exchange them at a later date which meant I could go down and pick out a different one if I really didn’t like his choice. He chose the following since our car was manufactured in Leipzig, Germany:
He was happy when I “got” the connection right away ~ Do you? 😉

Nicole ~ you should have seen us in Berlin. All we did was say “Now we’re in the east, now we’re in the west, now we’re back in the east.” I thought FG was going to put duct tape on our mouths!

We never made it to Berlin but I can remember driving in that direction and seeing signs for Leipzig and thinking, “Oooh we’re getting closer to the former East Germany.”There was something very mysterious about it for me…of course, I am easily amused also!

Since our car was made in Leipzig, part of the former East Germany which was known as the GDR (German Democratic Republic) ~ as you can see, we’re easily amused. Speaking of GDR, the first time I ever heard of it referred to as that was in the 80’s teen movie called “Gotcha” with Anthony Edwards ~ juvenile but funny 🙂

Okay, so I’m a moron (not news, I know). And I totally don’t get it. Maybe I need coffee first. Any hints?

very cute. I think you should keep them. Guam is almost as backwards as Pamlico County.
