From MrE: I post as MrE on your blog. My wife and I took a retirement celebration trip to Holden Beach, North Carolina, where I spotted this license plate at the Provision Company Restaurant (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Provision-Company/208280515935956). Forty years ago, I'd have passed this along for the brownie points. Now,...
