Once upon a time in Bluffton you could identify a driver's residence by the number on the license plate. This driver, now a resident of Mennonite Memorial Home, once had an address of 493 __________ St., Bluffton. Viewers help us out as to the owner of this plate.
Our only clue is that this plate is on a vehicle in the Bren-Dell parking lot at Bluffton University. We cannot comment on whether 007 has a meaning we aren't allowed to discuss. Viewers please help us identify the driver.

The scene opens on a nighttime field. Three cows graze peacefully, bright stars riding the black sky above them. Dawn breaks, and rising over the horizon is not the sun but the silhouette of an enormous man wearing a crown. Two Japanese symbols appear inside the man's silhouette; a singing voice bellows, "KA-TA-MA-RI DA-MA-SHIIIIII!"
