During Obama’s inauguration last January, the commentators on CNN were looking for anything iconic that would signify the change of office. They pointed to the large moving truck in front of the Whitehouse, the new look of www.whitehouse.gov, and the wheelchair Dick Cheney rode in due to a fall he had while packing up his belongings.
I think changing a license plate gives that same visual confirmation that things have changed. After all the planning, packing, unpacking, faxing, arranging, waiting in line, budgeting, insuring, registering, and driving, tightening the screws on the back end of the car is a truly satisfying feeling. With all screws in place, we officially say goodbye to “Beautiful British Columbia” and welcome in “The Klondike.”
