September License Plate Report
This report is late because there is nothing to report. Boo hiss. Two consecutive months with no new sightings, and it sure isn’t because there were few cars on Vineyard roads in August and September. I guess I really don’t … Continue reading
August License Plate Report
Nothing to report. No new plates, no new states. The map is no more green than it was at the end of July. It’s no less green either, true. This is good, but it’s also not surprising. Once a plate’s … Continue reading
July License Plate Report
How ’bout that map, huh? July brought in several hard-to-get states. Iowa isn’t generally too tough, but Alabama, Arkansas, and Oklahoma are all good catches. West Virginia too: most years I’m SOL if I miss the family friend from Morgantown … Continue reading
June License Plate Report
A quality haul, if not a huge one: Idaho, Georgia, and Missouri. The map now has a belt across its midsection, and the East Coast is finally complete. Why does it seem I spot Tennessee every time I turn around? … Continue reading
May License Plate Report
May’s haul: Wyoming, Wisconsin, Delaware, and Utah. For some reason, multiple sightings often follow hard on the first: I swear I’ve seen three different Utahs and two different Delawares. May also brought the advance guard of cutesy-poo plates on out-of-state … Continue reading
April License Plate Report
April’s catch: Kansas, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee. Finally Ohio shows up! And Kentucky always looks lonely on the map until I can color in neighbor Tennessee to the south. Still need Delaware and Georgia to finish off the East Coast. … Continue reading
March License Plate Report
Eek! I knew yesterday was the first of a new month — I even paid my rent on time! — but it wasn’t till today that it dawned on me that I hadn’t issued a license plate report for the … Continue reading
February License Plate Report
As Februarys go, this was a good one: Oregon, Illinois, North Carolina, Louisiana, and Alaska. Louisiana and Alaska are good catches any time of year. Alaska was in the parking lot at up-island Cronig’s this past Tuesday. Here’s the map … Continue reading
January License Plate Report
I spot license plates. I spot license plates on Martha’s Vineyard. The license plates have to be (a) current, (b) mounted on moving vehicles, and (c) either on Vineyard roads or on the ferry going to or from the Vineyard. … Continue reading
My License Plate Fetish
Everyone should have a hobby, right? Mine is collecting license plates. Well, OK, not quite: I don’t go around swiping license plates off cars or buying them at estate sales. I live in a studio apartment and what disposable income … Continue reading
