How close were you to Daytona, Florida? Maybe a Richard Petty fan.

…..Yes, Richard Petty did race at Daytona and is a legend at the Daytona 500, holding the record for most victories with seven wins. He also holds numerous other records at the track, including most starts, top fives, top tens, and top twenties, [according to the NASCAR Hall of Fame](https://www.nascarhall.com/blog/10-historic-daytona-records)…..

TUB GUY on the back of an old Suburban that was used for a small business bathroom renovation business.

Problem is, I’ve been on the Internet long enough to remember Tub Girl.

**DANNY1** on a Humane Society supporter plate in a parking lot this morning. It was a 50-60ish looking woman driving, not sure if she was Danny or if that was a pet’s name.

They might fit in an Econoline, but I doubt the coupe could fit its referents.

I don’t know if I need **4-MORMOR** of anything but if my mother asked I might just say **YEA␣MOM**. Of course if someone asked me who the first man was I would likely reply: **UM␣ADAM**?

I think “mormor” is a common endearment for “grandmother” in some dialects.

My nephew and his wife, who live in Oslo, recently welcomed their first child. These are the common terms in Norwegian:

mormor: maternal grandmother  
morfar: maternal grandfather  
farmor: paternal grandmother  
farfar: paternal grandfather
