January License Plate Report

January 31, 2011

My month was made when I spotted Louisiana about halfway through it, but it got better at the end: West Virginia! I didn't see a single West Virginia all last year.

The first few days of the new year all I saw was Massachusetts. The other New England states weren't even in my first five. Then things picked up. Here's the YTD tally, in order of appearance:

Massachusetts, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, California, Ohio, Maine, New York, Rhode Island, Texas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, Maryland, Illinois, Connecticut, Vermont, Colorado, Wyoming, Florida, Washington, West Virginia.

That makes 21, less than half the total, but pretty par for the course.

The license plate game has simple rules. Vehicles have to be spotted on the Vineyard, and the registrations have to be current. Ferry sightings count: if a vehicle is on the boat, either it's just been on island roads or it's about to be.
