July License Plate Report
Wisconsin, Wyoming, and Alaska are now on the map. Not bad, eh? If past experience is any guide — and I’ve got more than 25 years of past experience at this point — the end-of-year map will look pretty much like this … Continue reading
June License Plate Report
An excellent haul for June: Delaware, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Hawaii (!!), Nevada, and Utah, bringing the YTD total to 42. Nine to go — I include D.C., last colony and my onetime home, so the goal is 51. Arkansas was at … Continue reading
May License Plate Report
May started off slowly, but in the second half I scored some good ’uns: Alabama (on Main Street, Vineyard Haven); West Virginia (in the parking lot behind Windemere, where the Spirituals Choir I sing in has been rehearsing lately); Kansas … Continue reading
April License Plate Report
Indiana and Illinois, Arizona and New Mexico. This wasn’t the order I spotted them in, quite, but — probably because I’m a chronic East Coast girl — I think of Indiana and Illinois as a couple, and Arizona and New … Continue reading
March License Plate Report

January License Plate Report
I do love January — so much progress in so little time! I spotted 20 plates this month. Not a huge haul, but not bad — and having Louisiana show up so early in the year? Wow. Louisiana and Texas … Continue reading
Year-End License Plate Report
True, there’s still more than an hour left in 2013 in this time zone, but unless one of the AWOL states drives into the driveway and honks the horn, I’m not going to spot it. So December, and 2013, end … Continue reading
November License Plate Report
So I thought November’s big news was going to be spotting British Columbia at up-island Cronig’s in the middle of the month. Officially I’m only tracking U.S. states, but Canada’s western provinces are rare, rare, rare on Martha’s Vineyard, and … Continue reading
October License Plate Report
Nothing exciting to report. No, make that nothing to report. The count stands where it was at the end of September and at the end of August, at 43. I did spot one license plate worth reporting, though. Don’t get … Continue reading
