I saw **GN2SOCR** and **SOCRMOM** in the same parking lot, but they were not parked next to each other, so I do not think they are related. Apparently, the morning rush hour is the best place to meet people, at least according to **U␣SINGLE**. It probably is not a good idea to try to outrace the red car with **5\_DRAGNS** , as I think dragon power is more than horsepower. I do hope that **BEOWLF** does not run into a Grendel as that is certainly likely to put a snarl in the commute. `//i\\` ---

Today I saw **MKYMOM** on my way to work. I’m assuming she’s either really into Mickey Mouse or has a kid named Mickey/Mikey. And on the way home **ARIEZ**. Maybe “ARIES” was already taken and someone is into astrology. ---

I might not be remembering this exactly right but it was more or less: **TA2INE** I wonder if the driver was going to Tosche Station to pick up some power converters. ---

I saw a rather clever one on a rather over the hill smaller car…“4U2NV” ---

**LOVERX** “Honey, now that Elon Musk has bought Twitter, he’s changing the name to ‘X’.” “Um, how much does it cost to get a different personalized plate?” ---

Somewhat in keeping, lots of good thoughts driving around from **2LOVE** (which immediately reminded me of the priest in Princes Bride) to **LUV4A11** , **SM1L1N** , the cheerful greeting **SUP␣GANG** and the very calm **ZEN␣VIBE**. Of course it has to end some time as **SE␣ACABO** \* reminded me. `//i\\` \* It has finished in Spanish. ---

I certainly do not **WNA␣CYBR** with whoever was driving the delporian (Cyber Truck) on my way home. I think I might have spotted a Bob Marley fan sporting **1NE␣LUV** though that is possibly me projecting the reason behind the choice like thinking that the person who chose **HI␣WRLD** must be a computer programmer. At least **DATA␣ENG** seems clear enough. What exactly **MOM␣GOD** means eludes me though. Is it the order in which their loyalty lies (first to their Mom, then to God)? Is it a feminist message about God being female? No other clues were evident. I had no problems understanding **GRROOVY** though. `//i\\` ---

Somewhat perplexing: **MAYOMIKE** on a white Mercedes sedan. A reference to the dressing? The clinic? His complexion? ---

I saw a small Mercedes crossover with a retirement-aged man driving. A pretty typical easy-in/easy-out geezermobile for the well-heeled. The FL standard plate read **EMDR4U**. Thanks doc; I bet you saw some crazy shit over your career in Emergency. I saw a soccer Mom mobile with an FL themed plate that supports orphans & foster kids. With the tag reading **SPONSOR**. Evidently somebody who takes their special interests seriously. Good for them. But … They came to my attention as they blasted past me doing 30-something in an active school zone while I was doing the required 15. Evidently their commitment to child well-being is sorta … conditional … ? I saw a Tesla Model Y with one of the FL themed plates that only holds 5 characters. It said **SW33T**. ---

For a long time there was a car in my work garage that had the plate **BUKKAKE**. This was at least 10-15 years ago. ---

More likely was the ride of a specialized psychotherapist: … Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing Share Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy technique that helps patients process and relieve symptoms from traumatic experiences. Developed in 1987 by Francine Shapiro, EMDR involves patients discussing traumatic memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as side-to-side eye movements or tapping.
