April License Plate Report
Seen for the first time in April: Tennessee, D.C., Illinois, North Carolina, Ohio, Georgia, New Mexico, and Texas. I very possibly spotted Texas earlier in the month, and maybe earlier in the year, but Texas is one of those plates … Continue reading
March License Plate Report
If you guessed from the total absence of a February License Plate Report that there was nothing to report, you were right. Coming as it does after the big burst of January, February is always a light month, but this … Continue reading
January License Plate Report
The year was off to a worse-than-mediocre start: the month was half over and not only was I not even up to 10, I was still missing three of the six New England states. Clearly I needed to get out … Continue reading
2021 License Plate Report
The license plate scene was so grim this fall that I never got around to posting an October report. October’s tally was the same as September’s and, as it turned out, November’s: zero, zero, zero. December was on course to … Continue reading

May License Plate Report
Finally Washington shows up: the West Coast is now complete. Arizona isn’t all that uncommon. I did manage to meet the annual challenge of keeping Arizona and New Mexico straight. Can you tell I’m a New England girl? May’s best … Continue reading
April License Plate Report
Four good ones in April: Missouri, Delaware, Mississippi, and Utah. The year-to-date total now stands at 36. Spotting Delaware and Mississippi during the same down-island errand-running circuit would have been (almost) enough, since Missouri appeared near the beginning of the … Continue reading
