It's Official!

My trusty Alero got a bit of a facelift today - 




It's going to take me a while to get used to the new plates.  They are very blue.  Luckily, it matches my license plate holder, but not so sure about the color of the car.  I guess silver is a metallic - it goes with everything.

The directions for putting on the stickers were different than in Illinois.  Usually, they remind you to make sure the plate is clean and dry, and press firmly.  These stickers had these extra instructions:

1.  Do not clean plate with water when temperatures are below 32 degrees.
2.  License plate temperature must be above -10 degrees for sticker to adhere.  

Yikes!  Good thing my plates renew in the summertime.

Heard on the News This Morning....

As I was driving Chief to his bar exam this morning, we listened to the weather report on the local AM station. (I am currently in withdrawal from 780-WBBM).
After they mentioned the high heat and low humidity:


"There's only 47 more days until snow season begins!"


We need to buy a snowblower.
