Indiana and Illinois, Arizona and New Mexico. This wasn’t the order I spotted them in, quite, but — probably because I’m a chronic East Coast girl — I think of Indiana and Illinois as a couple, and Arizona and New Mexico likewise.
Both Arizona and New Mexico appeared in the spring last year. In 2012 New Mexico didn’t appear at all. And there it was on Main Street when I drove to Edgartown earlier this week.
About Susanna J. Sturgis
Susanna edits for a living and writes to survive. Having been preoccupied with electoral politics since 2016, she is now getting back to writing -- and she's got plenty to write about. Her blog "The T-Shirt Chronicles," started at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, is a meandering memoir based on her out-of-control T-shirt collection. Her other blogs include "From the Seasonally Occupied Territories," about being a year-round resident of Martha's Vineyard, and "Write Through It," about writing, editing, and how to keep going.

I like to count how many Cape & Islands license plates I see here in NJ… not as many as you’d think š
