Driving home from work tonight headed north up 94, I get in a lane behind a vehicle, in which the license plate reads, yep, you guest it…  
[Q E D]  
I had to wonder if it could be Q.E.D. from this board, just see what his location was. :dubious: I’ve only ever seen Q.E.D. on this board, is there another meaning for these intials?

I swear to God, I saw the same plate about six months ago. The same plate.  
I travel I-94 lots. In the Milwaukee area. If memory serves it was a WI plate, no?
