Yes, you read that right: it’s the 6th of November and this is the September license plate report. If you’re guessing that (1) I had a very busy October, and (2) nothing happened license-plate-wise in the year’s 10th month, you would be right on both counts.
September started off with a big bang — two big bangs, in fact: Arkansas and Alabama on the first of the month. Since then? Nada. I’ve almost resigned myself to the possibility that we’re looking at the map the way it will appear at midnight on December 31, but remember the year I spotted Nebraska in the last week of December? I didn’t either, but I just looked it up: 2014.
Even if the drought continues, it’s already been a very good year in the license plate game, with only Hawaii, South Dakota, and Nebraska AWOL at this point. Last I heard, none of my fellow players had spotted either South Dakota or Nebraska, but we’re still looking.
Very fun to read. There’s still time.

Yes there is! I just found some license plate maps from over a decade ago. In 2011 I spotted Kansas and New Mexico in November. In 2010 I spotted South Dakota in December. In 2009 I spotted Arizona in November. Never give up!
