HWY99MN Officially Retired

After having this license plate, HWY99MN, since around 2004, it was time to retire the plate. I had planned to keep it but found it was going to be too problematic to convert it to a motorcycle plate and reassign it to one of my bikes. I have since replaced the plate with two better options for US 6 and US 99. So, on Monday, December 22, I turned my plate in to the DMV and surrendered interest in it. It was fun while it lasted.

Fuel Prices… a look back

With the price of gasoline dropping recently, I thought it might be a good idea to show what prices were 14 years ago during the last big price drop.
