I saw what I think is one of the coolest/funniest license plates a little while ago: STFU. and I have been trying to figure out how they slipped that one past Utah DMV… and applauded them for doing so.

I’ve had a song running through my head for the past half-hour or so. I remembered that it was from a video game on the Commodore 64, but I couldn’t remember the name of the game. So, I did the next logical thing: I searched for it… and found it. It was this game.

Our office building is a few miles from Salt Lake International Airport and an U.S. National Guard air base. We are just east of the flight path for them. One of the things that I like about my office is that my window faces the flight path; I can watch planes on final approach or just after they have taken off. The ones that I find the most interesting are the large military transports. One took off a little while ago and I thought: “That thing just doesn’t look like it should be able to leave the ground.” I watched it as it disappeared on a Nevada-ward path.
