May 28. Twenty-eight words.

Not just a license plate,
but how it shields the grinding wheel,
a father standing over his son,
the shadow of authority,
a bystander,
unable to prevent accidents.

    The shadow of authority. Wow, what a mantle. And all that license curved around the grinding wheel, a shield. Was that at Grampa's house? I totally picture Grampa and Dad and how the cloak of influence goes back for generations.

    And sadly having to be a witness to any such accident. Love your ingenuity with license plates. What a wonderful birdhouse!
