Curtis,

Tell him as soon as he puts a wheelchair ramp in there, I’m down.

Hi Adam,

Just a quick note…

As Lt. Governor, Andre receives 3 license tags, one of which is on his Smart Car. He sold the Jeep a little over a year ago.

I have never had an SC2 on any vehicle that I own or drive.

All my best,

Curt Loftis, Jr.
Director
Lt. Governor’s Office on Aging

TPS,

Thanks for the kind words about Wilson’s post today. He’s fun to watch because he doesn’t take compliments well and got all embarrassed when I brought it up. Watching him squirm was more entertaining than Guitar Hero.

I wanted to take a quick second and clear up any mix-ups about the picture and license plate to keep the LTG from getting hate calls.

The pic of the SC2 Wagoneer was taken about a year ago while I was walking across the Statehouse grounds. I saw it and snapped the shot because for some reason it’s my baby sister’s favorite kind of car. I thought she’d think it was neat to see the SC2 tag on the back of it.

Fast forward several months to a time when I was working on the OBB site design and add-ons. I used that pic to play around with Flickr because I thought we would probably use more photos as our blog found its legs and figured out what it wanted to be.

I actually took the Smart Car pic the same day you did (shortly after WIS finished taping its segment) but didn’t want to throw that shot up and write a big piece since you beat me to the punch. I didn’t want to copycat, so I just left it in Flickr as a standalone shot with no commentary.

With all of that said and just to clarify, to my knowledge the SC2 tag is not switching cars. It was on Lt. Governor Bauer’s Wagoneer last year and is on his new Jetsons car now.

Thanks again for the kind words, and I hope we didn’t cause too much confusion.
