I gotta admit, it never bothered me much that cover art had little
to do with the contents, as long as the cover wasn't really bad.

One of the spots in the lot outside this building has California lic. $
HYDROGEN2. I know the owner slightly.

Hmm. Assuming even that the dollar sign is a sticker affixed later,
that's still nine characters. When last I lived in California (19.5
years ago) vanity plates were limited to seven characters. How'd they
squeeze the extra two in and still make it readable?

That $ is a typo. I went outside and took this picture:

Sorry, I misremembered it a bit. The guy doesn't actually have a
Hydrogen car, he has a desire for one. He got that plate # because it
was the best one left at the DMV. At least he got the atomic # right.
Thinking ahead, as is his (ability? right? privilege in a free world?).
