63 Years Ago Today, ...Enola Gay

[tombogan03884]

Yes. I know her name was Enola Gay. But there's less than 1 girl named Enola for every 5,000 named Emily. So, spelled forward it's an odd name, but backward it's a common word. I used to play word games a long time ago and sometimes I pick up on things like that. None of my friends and family seem to have names like that, except a guy named Bob. Backward it spells "bob", as in for apples. If you get bored, try seeing what words you get from backward names. Oh, I have one. My dog's name is Tag, but backward it's Gat. I have my gat with me. That's just perfect for a gun nut like me.   

With me it's license plates, If I see one that's  all letters I try to figure out the acronym. ex: IH8U I saw last week

My next plate will be

eM wolB

If only I could get the state to make my letters backwards so people could enjoy that in the review mirror.

A lot of vanity plates are hard to figure out. I like to keep them simple. I can only have 7 characters and spaces in Michigan. Mine was LEDFOOT now it's FRANK *, with the * being my last initial. When I got a replacement plate I had to tell them it's FRANK * with a space, not FRANK*. Yesterday when I told a mechanic about the ledfoot plate, with led as in Led Zeppelin, he LOL. I've often thought about changing it to GUN NUT but I'm afraid someone would break in and steal all my guns or wreck my car. I don't want some liberal freedom-hating Commie to destroy my car so I won't get a plate that reads NRALIFE either, but that would be so cool.
