There's a First Time for Everything

OH MAN.

So my friend Andrew got me into this blogging thing. I think it's pretty cool for two reasons:

1. I like to share my daily life with my family and friends
2. I think it's cool to be able to look back on certain days and reminisce.

ANYWAY. Here's what happened today.

I was woken up around 7am to learn that my dad overslept and was running late - for his flight from PHL and I had to drive him up there. So I got dressed, we got in the car, and we left for Philly at around 7:10am.

So we're on the C&D Canal Bridge and we pull right behind plate PC22 - a neighbor. My dad was like "WHOA! PC22!" I was like "Oh I've seen that like 100 times AND they live right down the road." Yeahh. Then we hit mucho traffico but we got there around 8:15am.

After I dropped him off, I headed back to Delaware. I stopped at the McDonald's on Exit 2 in PA on I-95 to get some breakfast. When I was pulling out of the parking lot, I spotted PC969. Pretty decent sighting, being in PA and all. I decided to take 495 to US-13 and it was good thing that I did because when I got onto 13, I pulled RIGHT behind this:

That was pretty sweet :]

ANYWAY. About 15 minutes before I got home, I get a call from my mom, asking me to pick her up a coffee from Dunkin Donuts. No problem. When I pulled into the Dunkin Donuts shopping center, I passed plate 974. I swung around to get a picture of it - success. I got home, brought her the coffee, and then she asked me to take her car to get the tire plugged. Apparently it had been losing pressure and was getting flat. I went to our usual mechanic and he found a screw in there. It cost $15 to plug it - done and done. While I was waiting, I talked to the owner about the economy, the upcoming election, and his business. Cool guy - another example that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Instead of going home, I decided to drive down to Dover to see if I could find some nice low-digit plates. I drove all around - around Legislative Hall, the "Green", downtown Dover. It's a REALLY nice area - I'm going to start going more often. As far as plates go, I saw the following (in order of spotting):

• PC525
• PC84
• PC95
• 199
• C731 (CORRECT now I have C731, PC731 and 731!)
• PC766
• C20 (UGH I've been tracking that plate down for SO long)
• 535 (parked right next to C20)
• PC395
• 93

Not a bad day for sightings. In the midst of searching for plates, I accidentally went the wrong way down a one-way street. This black guy in a pickup truck (a sight you don't see everyday haha) pulled his window down and told me I was going the wrong way. As soon as he passed, a COP put his lights on and pulled me over. I told him it was an honest mistake and that I had never been in this area before. Luckily, he gave me a warning. Yay.

I headed back home and - of course - my mom calls me, asking me to pick up some pumpernickel bread from Super G. On my way to Super G, Brittany calls me and asks me to go to lunch. That was a nice surprise!

I picked her up and we went to North Star Grille in Middletown. I got a cup of crab bisque and the buffalo chicken wrap. The soup was good; the wrap - not so much lol. When we left there, plate C505 was right next to us. Today was SO good for plate spottings! Then I dropped Brit off and went home.

I chilled on the computer, went back to the bank, took a nap, talked to my buddies Danielle and Jon, ate dinner, emptied the dishwasher, played Crash Bandicoot with Justin, and now I'm chillin in my room!
