This is the first thing I’ve seen you write where you refer to me as “my wife” instead of just Amy, and I kept hearing it in Borat-voice. 😁

I believe the license plate in question, surrounded by all that Iowa and ISU stuff, is clearly declaring they’ve found their “FOREVER HOME” (as in pet adoption). Maybe the driver was originally from out of state, moved to Iowa, fell in the love with the place, and decided to stay.

Thank you for this! I'm going to look for that book and I'm also going to suggest the movie you mentioned for our Saturday night family viewing.
