June License Plate Report
Just Tennessee — I didn’t get out much in June. Too much work! Adding things up at the end of the month, I had a minor crisis: Tennessee was #40, and there are 10 states yet to be spotted: Nevada, … 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
March License Plate Report
Not a huge haul for March but a good one: Indiana, Arkansas, Kansas, and North Carolina. I was thinking that North Carolina was seriously overdue, but a quick look at the 2020 map says that it didn’t appear till April … Continue reading

October License Plate Report
October is a boring month in the license plate game. A reliable nothing-burger. How reliable? Well, from 2012 through 2019 the only year anything new showed up in October was 2016: the sighting was Montana. Which makes this October even … Continue reading
September License Plate Report
If the new map looks a lot like the old map, it’s because it is. No new sightings in September.
August License Plate Report
License plate reports seem to be getting later and later. I aim for the first of the following month, and usually make it within a few days, but not with the July report (August 12), and August’s is even later. … Continue reading
