When I was younger, I had this habit of making little phonetic names out of license plate numbers. Especially in Arizona, it's three letters, three numbers (though before the 80s it was the reverse) and it was a cute little game to 'name' them.
Well, yesterday I was out and I saw this late-model oldsmobile (I think) van and the license plate sorta called out to me. It said NGZ ***. I remembered my little game......I wondered who was driving the van. It turned out to be this black gentleman and his kid I'd seen in the store just earlier.
