Illinois I-Pass

Quite some time ago, Illinois redid our toll plazas to make way for the I-Pass. It's this really neat device that you stick on your windshield and you get to go through instead of stopping. The sensor reads it and deducts the amount of the toll from your pre-existing checking account. It actually saves you money because if you don't have an I-Pass and stop at the toll plaza, the toll is doubled. Plus, some of the toll plazas back up for a mile since they reduced the number of workers. I've been stuck in one for 45 minutes before.

My best friend and I used to share an I-Pass, meaning that it was registered to both our cars. That worked out well because whenever we were on the toll road we were usually in one car. He has since moved out and I decided that I need to get my own. I'm going to a new train station now since they broke into my car at the old one, and the fastest way is for me to get on the toll road instead of taking the back roads and risk getting stopped by one or more trains. I discovered that you can sign up on-line and they will mail the device to your house.

The only problem is....I DON'T KNOW MY LICENSE PLATE NUMBER!!!!!. I would say I'm having a blonde moment, but since I dyed my hair dark again I don't think I can get away with that. The truth is, I never bothered to pay attention to what my license plate number is. And every time I think about looking at it, I'm nowhere near my car! Ahhhh, the life of me ;-)
