Exhibit 19.3

This really was so predictable as to almost not warrant another post. But then I thought about all of the children relying on me for their Nebraska license plate news and figured I'd catch everyone up:

1) State holds online vote using four designs everyone hates
2) The chosen design--done by the aluminum vendor of all things--wins because of a prank done by a humor website
3) The state goes to the second place winner:



4) Everyone hates the new winner even more
5) Governor Heineman loses his reelection bid over this

Okay, so that fifth step is just a guess, but I don't think anyone would be shocked. We are talking about a state that would break into a war if anyone ever tried to renumber the counties based on a contemporary census. Custer County would rather see their entire population killed than live with a license plate number higher than 4.

It's either 4 or 93 for those people, there is no compromise.

At the moment, there's a 0.4% chance this bird and weed plate ends up being used. Needless to say, I'm continuing to enjoy this.
