NJ finally sent my custom plates for my new truck.

I thought they'd reject it, but apparently they didn't.

They probably couldn't figure out what it means. I couldn't either.
How much did it cost extra?

State of Arizona asks you to spell out what it means when you make the request. State of Illinois does not, and some things get past them.

BLK - black

OVIS -> ovis. i.e. sheep

BLKOVIS -> black sheep

My truck's a Ram, it's black.

My dad got it instantly, and chuckled. Tried to explain to me the ones on the family room wall. I can't keep 'em straight, other than he's been out west a few times for 'em, and there's one tag he keeps putting in for and never gets.

I have one of his elk skulls at my house as a (temporary) display piece in the stereo room, one of the others is in their family room. We found pictures of (what we believe to be) his first white tail, in '58. Rifle shot. I think part of the skull is still in the family room by the fireplace.

He disavows all knowledge of bow hunting, other than he thinks he bought his at Abercrombie and Fitch (yes kids, THAT one), and is a little dissapointed I came home empty handed this year, but understands this was more logistical and getting experience

I should have known that ovis is a sheep. I took Latin for 3 years in HS but its been a long time ago.
The custom plates are $80 here in GA.

Nice.

I'm thinking my other Ram (old 2500, diesel), I might put in for "GRYWOLF", but that one's a bit obscure

I can see the first one to get approved under the new law:
COPSSUK.

There was a big ooh-ahh going on in our local newspapers & local TV stations that a man got a 60 pounds parking ticket: He was stopped for 16 seconds at a give way (yeald) sign at a T junction waiting for a gap in the traffic & a CCTV camera van clocked him & thought he was parked & issued the fine by post. They eventually canceled the fine after many months of appeals & wrangling...

My neighnour who put petrol (gas) in his diesel car has now got an all electric Tesla, & it has a green flash on it's number plates. He's waiting for the electric company to install a high power car charging station but they can't do it for a few weeks, so he's having to use the public chargers in supermarket car parks till then. He had a panic last weekend when he went to pick his daughter up from 60 miles away & had 11% of charge left when he got home, it was fairly hot (for England that is) so he had the air con on all the time....

1 of my friends has an electric car..... We always find a charging station to charge it up at.........
