Just tonight I bought the CA plate of 6022E23. I trust that on the Dope I won’t need to do many explanations of that. Just use Google, the rest of you. Yes, I teach it in HS. ---

I got nothin’ on Google. On Yahoo I turned up a NeoPet: [http://www.neopets.com/~6022e23](http://www.neopets.com/~6022e23) I can easily believe that this is what the Plate is referring to. But i doubt if you teach a NeoPet in High School. So unless this is your student, there must be some other interpretation of this that I’m missing. (smacks head) :smack: I’m looking too hard. Of course – AN Disregard the above. ---
