License Plate Numbers

Hi everyone -- Bet you're as impressed as Don & I with Jon & Joe's writings! I don't want to make this long, but just wanted to share something I learned about cars navigating the streets of Yerevan! Seems Armenians have a fixation with certain numbers on their license plates (especially high numbers like 777, 888, even 666!). Guess they can buy these numbers for a hefty price of $2000.00 or so which then allows them to pretty much disregard traffic signals. I've never seen such a mess at intersections with horns blaring, people yelling, cars within inches of each other -- but surprisingly few accidents or even minor scrapes! Amazing! The director of the leadership institute informed me that the number fixation began after the Soviets left. Hmmmm. The rewards of freedom? Thankfully, our freedom in Christ doesn't produce such a fixation! We're having a great time and are so proud of the team! Blessings, Lana
