I’m quite honored to be among Amazon’s “Significant Seven” — i.e., the Best Books of the Month.
The 40% discount now makes the book (assuming free shipping) cost less than four gallons of gas. Perfect ’staycation’ reading!

Hi Tom,
Only this morning I saw a registration plate J 777. Your G7 is nothing. What about JESUS 04. (There is such a plate here in Adelaide South Australia).
I have always found registration number fascinating and read them constantly. On a vacation from Australia in Germany I saw a vehicle E AU 560. (In Germany E stands for Essen. In my childhood (40 years earlier in Germany) I recall having often driven with our bandmaster ES AU 560.
Since letters and numbers can convey a message, one must be careful as to what number one receives and how one interprets it.
People with a certain free spirit may read more into it than intented.
Kind regards
