2 points for the vanity plate--they are a big deal in RI-- and one point for the odd quad at Cal/Berkeley/UCAL.  Didn't it used to be called People's Park?  My brother used to have a print of it on cloth made into a big pillow.  Lots of family went to Cal, including my son Jon for an almost doctorate.  ABD--all but dissertation.  He got the Master's and realized he did not need further degrees for the job he liked and still has.  Linda

Only a few more days until Beethoven's birthday, and I've received only a handful of votes, so get those votes in! Remember, you don't have to have submitted a definition in order to vote.
