November License Plate Report
I thought about titling this “Nothing to See Here, Folks” but every license-plate-related post in this blog so far has been titled “[MONTH] License Plate Report” and I am nothing if not conservative. Some of my friends do not believe … Continue reading
October License Plate Report
Fall is never great for license-plate spotting. The hard-to-find states are even harder to find when the island population drops. However, in the course of a day it seems that all the world passes through Five Corners, Vineyard Haven. Virtually … Continue reading
September License Plate Report

March License Plate Report
The best March ever in my license plate game has made up for the worst January ever. Twelve new sightings in March! Today, the year-to-date total stands at 27, one ahead of a year ago’s tally and exactly the same … Continue reading
February License Plate Report
Numerically February was not an exciting or even noteworthy month, but spotting West Virginia in the MV Hospital parking lot made up for it. Why was I cruising through the hospital parking lot? I had just had a Lyme test. … Continue reading
