Keeping My Distance While Going Out
My usual habit is to gang my errands so I spend as little time as possible driving back and forth between West Tisbury and Vineyard Haven, West Tisbury and Oak Bluffs. (My treks to Edgartown and Chilmark are almost entirely … Continue reading
February License Plate Report
After a strong January, February is often so-so, but not this year. Sure, 6 is a lot less than 25, but what do you expect when the game starts from zero every January 1? And will you take a look … Continue reading
January License Plate Report
January is the best month in the license plate game. In a good January, I spot half the states, and that’s what I got in the first month of 2020: 25. I like to think I would have hit 25 … Continue reading
