I told someone knowledgeable about cars about this "HRH" license plate conspiracy--that it seemed like the car in front of me would more often than not have "HRH" on their license plate--and he thought maybe there are more Wisconsin license plates with the letters "HRH" than plates with other letters because that was the letters Wisconsin was giving about 7 years ago. I told him that I thought he had an interesting theory, and added that I was going to start taking photos of the cars in front of me with "HRH" on the license plate.

Plus, no one would probably believe me unless I have photographic evidence, right?

Isn't this last photo of the "celestial" blue Jeep pretty over-the-top, practically screaming "HRH" license plate conspiracy theory, or what?!.

Keeping my grandma's cat on the same brand cat food, I started going to a pet store called "Angel's Pet World" out of convenience, after the store moved from up on the hill and relocated down by the river on 2nd Street...which is incidentally on the same street where I took all the "HRH" license plate photos.

I had been taking the kids to "Angel's Pet World" fairly regularly and had a frequent buyer card for the buy 10 bags of food get one free deal.

Last summer when Clifford, our chocolate lab died, I knew the next trip to Angel's Pet World was going to be a sad trip for me--to have to go to the pet store and not buy dog food, only cat food.

So the day came when I had to go to Angel's Pet World to get cat food for the first time after Clifford's death. I chatted with the girls that were working, told them about our dog's passing. Walking out the glass doors as I was leaving the pet store, I noticed that the car parked right in front of the glass doors of Angel's Pet World had the license plate "CLIFRD" --my recently deceased dog's name!

I turned around and went back in the pet store. I said to the girls, "You know how I was just telling you about my dog's death?" They nodded.

"Well, look at the license plate of the car right outside the door. It says 'CLIFRD'. That was my dog's name--Clifford," I spoke rather loudly because I was hoping the owner of the car would hear. I wanted her to know how she was in the right place at the right time making magic in someone's day.

I was a bit emotionally over-whelmed and I thought of taking a picture of the plate like three times while I was sitting in the car talking to my 12-year old daughter in the parking lot about the strange coincidence, however I leaned toward feeling like it was intrusive to the owner of the car who was right inside the glass doors.

I also wished I would have asked her why she had CLIFRD on her license plate.

It was a Wisconsin plate and generally in Wisconsin plates stay with the person to whom they are registered, whereas in Minnesota plates generally stay with the car to which it is registered.

Being a generally obsessed person mystified by bizarre coincidences, I even looked up the plate to see if I could find out anything about the owner...maybe her husband's name is Clifford or something, but this was all that came up...

Chili would call out our dog's name, 'Clifford', quite a bit, especially when I was opening the door to let my dog back in after going outside to go potty.

If the 'CLIFRD' car would have been a Ford instead of a Nissian.

A Clif-FORD!

"I was sitting with Mary
In my dad's blue Valiant
Rain was coming down
And the radio was playing
Mary was talking
A million miles a minute
I could not hear one word she was saying

Cause I was lost
I was gone
Listening to Levon
In another world
In another place

I immediately turned my eyes away from the computer screen and looked out my office window, and this is what I saw...

"In tradition with
The family plan,
And he shall be
Levon,
And he shall
Be a Goodman,
He shall be
Levon.

Levon sells cartoon Balloons in town,
His family business thrives.
Jesus blows up Balloons all day,
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly,

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus,
Leaving Levon far behind;
Take a Balloon,
And go sailing,
While Levon -
Levon
Slowly
Dies."
