Los Gatos Weekly-Times The Prowler In the spirit of new undertakings begun with the New Year, the Prowler celebrates the first column of 1999 with something that's been absent for more than four months--another list of personalized license plates! All those weeks are a long time to accumulate plates, especially now that another keen-eyed cat has volunteered to help the Prowler. That probably wasn't an infamous Kenneth driving along Highway 17 in a white truck, but the license plate did say MRSTARR. It's probably a safer bet that the driver of MRFOTO1, the sport utility vehicle on Highway 9, might be a photographer. And how about MRS KJW and MR MJW, the plates of two cars parked less than a mile from each other on N. Santa Cruz Avenue? The Prowler suspects they just might be a couple. Speaking of the Clinton flap, the Prowler thinks the Freud-quoting sportscar driver of JSTACGR must get laughs wherever he or she goes! Some drivers like to yell greetings to friends and relatives on their plates, HEYNINA and HEYGRAM being two examples. Other drivers like to tell you something about their education. The owners of the Swedish import UCBRK58 and the German import HARVD94, for example, are obviously quite proud of their degrees from these exclusive West and East Coast institutions. Still others like to proclaim their favorite places and pastimes: the driver of GRN CYN loves a certain National Park, while AVIDRNR is obviously fleet of foot. Any guesses on the favorite activities of GOT2SRF and GOT2SNG? And finally, plates whose quixotic little mottos sound like the drivers got together and chatted about them: LRN2BU, IAMYOU and IWILBME.
