I have been riding my motorcycle to work, and it has worked pretty well.  I am used to wind and even got moderately used to rain.  After all, it is only about 20 minutes each way, depending on traffic.  But I knew snow and ice were coming.  i can dress for cold, but when it is slick underfoot, two wheels is not a practical approach.

So last week, I bought a cheap POS*.  OK, it's actually not bad, but it is cheap enough I did not get stuck with car payments and it seems to be reliable.  So Tuesday night, I paid the money and picked up the car with a temporary license tag.  Wednesday, we had an odd wind.  It ran 40+ mph with gusts of 55-60 mph.  When I got home that evening, my wife noticed that the license tag was missing.  The screws were still there, but apparently the wind ripped it off the car.

Wednesday night, I woke up about 2 AM realizing the situation I was in.  Thursday night I was able to pick up my title and Friday I got the permanent tags, so I narrowly dodged that situation.  What was it?  A cop would stop me and ask me where my license plate is.  All I could answer would be, "The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind."

*The crossword puzzle yesterday in the newspaper, 6-down was a four-letter word, and the clue for the word was "Chicken ____". If your mind works along the same gutter as mine, I wish to suggest to you that POS stands for Piece of Kiev. - Harl
