Year-End License Plate Report 2018
Here’s a belated end-of-year license plate report, and an even more belated apology for not posting monthly updates for October, November, and December. My excuse for the latter, as you’ve probably guessed, is that I spotted no new plates after … Continue reading
September License Plate Report
Two good catches for September, one at the beginning of the month (Oklahoma) and one at the end (Montana). After scanning my updated map, I realized I had colored Montana in but not added it to the list. That’s now … Continue reading
August License Plate Report
August was looking like a total bust, then what should drive by while I was pulling out of the library parking lot in beautiful downtown West Tisbury but Nebraska. Moral of story: Good things happen when you go to the library. … Continue reading
July License Plate Report
Sorry, I’m running a little late here . . . Sighted in July: Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington (state), Louisiana, New Mexico, and Idaho. The first three were later-than-usual sightings. Louisiana can be tricky, and for some reason I saw several Arizonas … Continue reading

March License Plate Report
With all this A to Z Challenge excitement, the March License Plate Report is late late late, but here it is at last. A short list but a good ‘un. Georgia isn’t a big deal, but the East Coast is … Continue reading
February License Plate Report
February’s short, but it wasn’t a bad month: Indiana, South Carolina, Arizona, and Virginia are now on the map. (IIRC I first spotted Virginia before South Carolina, but I didn’t write it down.) My neighbor from up the road, Tom … Continue reading
January 2018 License Plate Report
In the license plate game the turn of the year brings a shot of adrenaline. The waning months of the old year are, in a word, boring. Dispiriting even. Island traffic is way down from its summer peak, though not … Continue reading
2017 Year-End License Plate Report
As you’ve probably guessed, 2017 closed with the map looking exactly as it did at the end of September. It wasn’t a bad year at all. I spotted plates from 45 different states. AWOL at the end were Alaska, Montana, … Continue reading
