True, there’s still more than an hour left in 2013 in this time zone, but unless one of the AWOL states drives into the driveway and honks the horn, I’m not going to spot it.

So December, and 2013, end as November did. Not a bad year. Spotted 44 different state plates, same total as last year. Didn’t spot 7: Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana (what’s with the missing Ms??), Nebraska, and — big surprise — North Dakota.

Hawaii, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, and Guess Who were no shows in 2012 as well.

Here’s to a filled-in map in 2014!
