mini license plate

Driving up and down 101 I've seen a fair few license plates. I was going to get my own on that Mini I've been eyeing since the Minis were rereleased. First it was new vs old Mini, then Cooper vs Cooper S, and later on Cooper S vs Cooper S with the works kit. I had it all dreamed out. Even picked out a license plate. It was going to be Rat Thing, based on the half dog, half machine out of the book Snow Crash. This is because a Mini looks like a bull dog, and is a useful benevolent tool--a vehicle. Over the weekend I saw the license plate that took the cake. It belongs to a friend of mine. She is a transgender individual. She started out life as a boy. Her plate reads her initals space won. It's great. Just right. She won. She had courage and triumphed over her gender. She found control of her life and is able to live.

After seeing that plate, I don't need the Mini Works and the cute license plate. I'm good. I can wipe away that clutter, and focus on what really matters.
