says this license plate.

The plate holder says he’s a Cubs fan.

License plate 989-NHH on a white Jeep into which Sheriff Keith Nygren and his wife drove from the fundraiser for Appellate Justice Mary Schostok. It has a license plate holder saying, "POSSE SHERIFF NYGREN."

I found this Wisconsin license plate in the parking lot of D’Andrea the night of the event for Appellate Court Justices Mary Schostok and Ann Jorgensen.

While looking for a big, lit up Nygren sign in the parking lot, I saw McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren and his wife Marge get into a large white Jeep with a Wisconsin license plate and a Nygren’s Posse license plate holder.

It prompted me to send this email yesterday morning to Nygren’s campaign web site.

Brent Smith sent me out to the parking lot at Schostok’s fund raiser to get a photo of your sign, which he said was lighted.  Searching the parking lot, I ran across a white Jeep with Wisconsin plates.  It had a Nygren Posse license plate holder.  (At the far edge of the parking lot I finally found the pickup truck, but with an unlit sign.)

Cary village Trustee Ray Chisholm and, later, Woodstock Mayor Brian Sager and I talked on the steps.  Then you and Marge left the event, got into the Jeep and drove away.

Why does the Jeep have Wisconsin license plates?

By the time I went to bed, having scheduled this to be posted shortly after midnight, Sheriff Nygren had not replied.

On the way back from the Liberty Trail Saturday, September 12th, demonstration on Randall Road, I saw this license plate.

I figure the owner’s name is Hal and he was born in 1942, just like me.

But, it’s the license plate frame that wins it an article here.

On top, it says,

Clearly, a take off on “got milk?”

On the bottom, it says,

McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren is offering the premiums (license plate holder or bracket, window sticker and lapel pin) seen above at his 13th Annual McHenry County Sheriff’s Fundraiser.

It will be held Sept. 10th at Donley’s Banquet Hall in Union.

The price ranges from $35 for Republican precinct committeemen to $550 for a “Posse Table Sponsor.”

The regular price is $40.

He faces opposition in the Republican primary election from former deputy Zane Seipler and in the general election from Green Party candidate Gus Philpott.

Nygren had $122,712.48 in his campaign fund at the end of June.

It’s D-Day.

What should I see in Downtown Crystal Lake, but a World War II license plate holder.

The Army’s D-Day web site introduces the subject with this:

“June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France.

“General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which ‘we will accept nothing less than full victory.’

“More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end on June 6, the Allies gained a foot- hold in Normandy.

“The D-Day cost was high -more than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded — but more than 100,000 Soldiers began the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.”

Don “Sully” Sullivan, was featured on the day the United States now celebrates Memorial Day.

He has a World War II license plate. He was in the Pacific theater, as was my father-in-law Vince Giangrasso. Both live in Wonder Lake.

Here’s a license plate fitting for spring vacation. It says,

And, the license plate holder obviously belongs to a Chicago Cubs fan.

The “TTFN” on this license plate driving out of Crystal Lake caught my attention.

The full plate reads

Does that mean the driver graduated from high school or college in 1964?

And what does “TTFN” mean?

You Tigger fans know, right?

Underneath in the Jeep license plate holder is the admonition,

Tigger is sort of a February 29th sort of guy, isn’t he?

Today we have an Illinois Disabled Veteran license plate.

I found it in DuPage County.

From the license plate holder, I’d say the driver went to the University of Hawaii.

Go Warriors!
