Arlington - My 1990 Mitsubishi
My 1990 Mitsubishi Galant in front of my house on Longfellow Street, in Arlington, Virginia. This photo has a good view of the small houses in Westover. The last full house has an extension similar to the one on my house. Someone came through the area in the 1950s with a standard extension plan, and sold it to many homeowners.
The photo shows the license plate which I had during my time in Annandale and Arlington, Virginia, GDD 700. I had considered getting a special number when I moved to Virginia (an extra-cost item), but changed my mind when this number came up.
A friend once said that he misread the second letter as O rather than D, and wondered whether I was associated with The 700 Club, a popular religious radio program.
On the GDD prefix, I thought about what people might have called my German-American grandfather when he was young (but not to his face) - a "goddam dutchman." Germans were often called "dutchmen" at that time. Dutch sounds like "deutsch," the German word for German. And Germans and Dutch were all from that strange continent on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, which hardly any American had ever seen. :-)
