A license plate story turns a routine plate swap into one of the wildest good news pickups of the year. A seventy seven year old grandmother is randomly issued a plate she never ordered, and it is nowhere near polite enough for a retirement home mailbox.

The same conversation turns to leisure guilt, the strange discomfort some people feel for taking downtime at all. It is the itch to get back to work the moment a show ends or a hobby wraps, even when nothing is actually waiting.

Guess the plate before the answer lands, then weigh in on where downtime actually ends and guilt begins.
