Life, vanity plates and the meanings behind them… |
Whoa! Did we just drive by John Sayles? Probably not since he lives in NY/NJ, but maybe he has another place in the DC Metro area? A $70,000 Lexus LS 460 is the kind of car someone like that would drive, right?
Anyway, his new film Amigo was recently shot in the Philippines. It’s worth watching!
This may be a long shot. I was hanging out over at The National Shrine (a regular Saturday evening thing for Roselyn and I since the first week we met) and noticed this Northern VA vanity plate.
This Mazda driver may just have a serious thing about the Jordan “Melo” style #303. If so, that’s totally cool. But, due to the parking location, I think I may have “found” either Jeanette De Melo or maybe a relative. Of course, removing the “De” from the name would be kind of weird, but vanity plate owners do some weird stuff sometimes, right?
Also, there could be another “Melo” from area code 303 that now resides in Northern, VA/DC. I also like the Nike Men’s NIKE JORDAN MELO M8 BASKETBALL SHOES idea… a lot! 
I found no obvious references to a GIL INC on the web, even when searching for keywords on this Ford Super Duty Truck driver’s license plate frame and a few towns near where I took the picture. I’ll guess he’s a small business owner named Gil.
Maybe he’ll stop by one day to claim this vanity plate and tell the story of his company. Until then, this entrepreneur has a free ad coming!

This isn’t a vanity plate sighting of ours, but a search by a visitor picked up by our web analytics team.
LMW28IF could stand for some kind of story or maybe it’s a combination of a monogram and age… I guess we’ll never know for sure unless the owner cares to comment. Of course, the visitor might also be guessing, but we’re guessing it’s the owner searching their own vanity plate!
Oh visitor, if you’re still lurking, please let us know!
Some say its all about heavy squats. Others insist on clarity. The See it from the sky Virginia Aviation affinity plate throws a wrench in what they say though, since a quick web search of 5×5 aviation gives results of a product which obviously gets it’s name from the idea of clear communication:
Telex 5×5 Pro III Single, soft eartip with excellent noise cancellation
For those of us without a pilot’s license, the Telex Roadking Hands-Free Cellular Noise Canceling Headset – Telex TX2007 looks pretty sweet.
Ah yes, Egyptology! I knew it right away because I’m into this stuff, but here’s some info on Amun Ra if you’re interested…
The Sun God Ra (as Atum or Amun) was one of the Ennead, the collective name given to the nine original deities (Gods and Goddesses) of the cosmogony of Heliopolis (the birthplace of the Gods) in the creation myths and legends. The story of creation relates that the Sun God Ra (as Atum) rose in the beginning from the primeval ocean called Nun to the first, conical-shaped, mound of earth. The first rays of the sun fell on Ra marking the way to heaven by ascending the rays of the sun. No woman was ever associated with the first God and the creation myth tells that Atum-Ra created the earth , and the first God and Goddess, from his seed through masturbation.

So, this DC Honda Pilot driver may or may not worship the sun. Do you?
Floyd hides out from the rest of the world, an untouched, one-stoplight mountain town where gorgeous hippies float about. Insouciant but earnest, they’re bathed in the tunes of stringed instruments and in a starlight rarely seen outside this rugged realm.
Rose Magazine has a page that details classes (of roses) that existed prior to 1867 when the first hybrids were introduced.
I’ve heard many references to dead roses, but never “old” roses, so there’s probably a story here that I won’t be able to figure out very easily. It’s probably got a Catholic theme, given the nature of those bumper stickers and location of the vehicle on a sunny Sunday morning.
The Free Dictionary gives a predictable definition for “old roses”, but I don’t think that’s the intended message for this plate. I’m guessing it has something to do with life, love and some older folks who may be a group of Catholic friends, but who knows? Maybe the driver will stumble over this page and let us know!
