October License Plate Report

Sorry to be so late with this one: state names have been swirling through my head, but they weren’t on license plates, and I don’t remember ever obsessing so much about Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia in particular. All three of them, you’ll notice, are on the map and have been for some time: Arizona since January, Nevada since March, and Georgia since April.

The last three months of the year are often a wasteland in the license plate game, or close to it, so I was very happy to spot Missouri in October. I was thrilled to see one of the missing four today as I was driving home from getting my second COVID booster at the M.V. Hospital drive-through tent, but I’m not going to say which one it was till next month.

OK, that’s mean. If you’re on Facebook, you’ll find it there. 😉

Tam came with me to get my shot. He got two biscuits out of it and much admiration so he’s probably wondering when we can go the hospital again.
