State of the (License) Plate - Missoula, Montana
In correlation with its vast and varying vistas (!), Montana holds pride of place for the State with the most options for personalizing your vehicle license plate (for added fees, albeit some of which support worthy causes of your choosing). Admiration is always due clever wordplay within the tight character limits, as with today’s aptly crafted example.(I could have titled this “Wordplayt”!?!) (Thanks Budget Blinds for the bonus commute guffaw! Photo snapped while fully stopped at the light, of course….Safety first, people!)
