June License Plate Report
Good haul in June — Louisiana, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Montana, Kentucky, and Kansas — bringing the year-to-date total to 36, but I’m getting this one up PDQ because on the first of July I spotted one of the rare ones. See … Continue reading
Fall License Plate Report
Yes, it’s been a while since the last license plate report: five months to be almost exact. Here’s my excuse. No, make that plural: Here are my excuses. You’ll notice from the map that though I had one sighting a … Continue reading
