thought of Lo** . . . but I think I’ll have to explain, huh?

First of all – there is the little controversy over how to spell “Coho”  <– that way is singular while Cohoe(s) is plural.

A “coho” is a type of salmon – a silver salmon. (we have five species in Alaska – the coho/pink, the chinook/king, the sockeye/red, the chum/dogs, and humpy/pink. There is also the landlocked red which is called a kokanee.)

Now, as is the case in most of the U.S., places and roads share names with animals and fish and birds. So – locally we will find Coho Loop and near it, Coho Lake and a (lot of) bed and breakfast(s), one of which is called Cohoe (note that pesky “e”) Lake Cabins.

so – back to the license plate spotted today -

 Could it be Silver Salmon Lo(is)? Or Coho(e) Loop Lolita?

or could it be short hand for “Come home, Lola”?

Phew! I must be tired – my brain is thinking weird things – I’ll tell you why I’m tired later.
