Los Gatos Weekly-TimesThe ProwlerThe Prowler, being an astute four-legged pedestrian, has noticed that one can tell a great deal about the drivers of vehicles based on reading and deciphering personalized license plates. Some people are so mischievously witty and wittily mischievous that they can't resist proclaiming it. Two examples are TIZIN U, a white convertible parked on N. Santa Cruz Avenue; and CZNTRBL, a sports sedan on University Avenue. Imagine the teasing and trouble-causing that might ensue if these two playful drivers met! Seems like many drivers like to think of themselves as fun-loving. Take FULOFLV, a luxury sedan parked in the Civic Center lot. There's a person who probably likes to hug friends, feed stray animals and buy special people gifts for no special reason. This cat isn't sure what activities the driver of FUN SUN likes best but is willing to wager that they take place outdoors. Self-explanatory was 1RADFAM, spotted on Almendra Avenue on the type of vehicle driven by many rad families--a minivan. And no doubt GRAMTOY belongs to a grandma (although not necessarily a senior citizen) who likes to tool around town in her cute car, perhaps with her cute grandkids. One driver whom the Prowler suspects doesn't have much time for fun is the individual behind the wheel of DO2MUCH, a luxury sedan spotted on Almendra Avenue. Whether the plate is a lamentation or a boast, the Prowler thinks this busy person could definitely benefit from having a contented, purring kitty snuggled on his or her lap. Take a cue from us felines--we're not in a hurry, but we still get things done.
