April License Plate Report
Only one new sighting in April, but it was a big one in every sense of the word: See Alaska in the upper left? Since Tam is an Alaskan malamute, we’re especially fond of Alaska. April’s harvest is usually more … Continue reading
March License Plate Report
Only two new sightings in March, but they’re both good ones: Arizona and, especially, Montana. Look at that pretty line along the northern border! Until North Dakota started showing up regularly at the hospital, this was a rare sight. Now … Continue reading
February License Plate Report
February’s tally is always dwarfed by January’s for obvious reasons, but considering that I scored a strong 28 plates in January, spotting 4 in February would be a good showing even if the 4 didn’t include Idaho and Alabama. But … Continue reading

As promised: Here’s the June report, with the West Coast finally complete: Washington state and Oregon are finally blue — as they are in political life too, thank heavens. Our year-to-date total now stands at 38. In June, my T-Shirt … Continue reading
May License Plate Report
No, your calendar doesn’t lie — we’re closing in on the end of July and I’m just now getting around to posting the May license plate report. June will follow shortly, and I promise July will be more or less … Continue reading
