Seen on the Street, Reader Contribution Dept. 2
The reader wondered how this ever made it past the censors at the DMV:
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

It was on the news here awhile back:
A woman who loves tofu wanted her vanity plate to read: ILVTOFU
The censors at DMV decided it would be taken as something else & declined her request.
Had the pictured plate been here, it wouldn’t have gotten to press.

I heard about the tofu thing. I think it’s safe to say that the tofu lady does not have a dirty mind nor does she have a flair for the obvious.
I am reliably informed that the vehicle shown above also had a bumper sticker, which did not resolve in the picture, which said, “Live every day as if your ass was on fire.”
