November License Plate Report
As you can probably guess from the lateness of this report, there were no new sightings in November. Boo-hoo. However, yesterday on the boat coming home from an eye appointment in Sandwich, Malvina Forester (my trusty 2008 Subaru) happened to … Continue reading
October License Plate Report
You’ve probably guessed from the sheer lateness of this report that there were no new sightings in October. Sniff. Pretty cool election news from Virginia, New Jersey, and Framingham, though. 🙂
September License Plate Report
At first glance it looks pretty much the same as the end-of-August map, right? Now take another look to the left of California. Hawaii! Toward the end of the month, I took a swing through the parking lot at Martha’s … Continue reading
August License Plate Report
When July ends, I damp my expectations way, way down. Pickin’s are always slim in the last five months of the year, and in a few years they’ve been nonexistent. So spotting Nebraska! and Kansas! in the first week of … Continue reading

May License Plate Report
Missouri and Michigan showed up in May. Too bad Mississippi didn’t make it a 3M hat trick. The tally was disappointing till I consulted my maps for previous years. They reminded me that May often isn’t a big month for … Continue reading
April License Plate Report
A pretty good month, all in all: Oregon, Georgia, Indiana, and New Mexico. The gaps are filling in. Now I’m on the lookout for Washington state and the Carolinas, all of which are running late this year. Delaware is often … Continue reading
March License Plate Report
You wouldn’t have trusted a report I posted on April Fool’s Day, right? And yesterday was another one of those ridiculously crowded Sundays: We Stand Together at 1, Messiah rehearsal at 2:30, campaign mailing at Richard’s at 4, and writers’ group at … Continue reading
February License Plate Report
February is generally a slow month — who comes to a New England seaside resort in the dead of winter? — but the month just past brought five good ones: Oklahoma, Illinois, Alabama, Tennessee, and Texas. Texas actually showed … Continue reading
