March License Plate ReportMarch 31, 2010 Louisiana and Hawaii!! Good heavens. Spotting Louisiana on Circuit Ave. (main drag of Oak Bluffs, for y'all who live elsewhere) was enough to make this March noteworthy, but the month got better. Larry, my mechanic, ordered some parts for Uhura Mazda that were no longer needed when it was time for Uhura to R.I.P. He returned the parts for full credit but was out the shipping in both directions, so I said I'd pick it up. Wednesday the 24th I dropped by Courtesy Motors to give Larry a check for $58.50 and show off Malvina. I parked, of course, in the next-door X-tra Mart's little parking lot, right under the sign that says NO COURTESY MOTORS PARKING. Automatically I looked through the scrawny hedge at the license plate of the car on the other side. It looked like a rainbow. Oh. My. God. I got out to inspect it more closely, and to ascertain that yes indeed it was the rear plate. (Vehicles from states that only require one plate -- of which Massachusetts used to be one -- often have novelty plates on front, and sometimes they're from exotic states of places like the Canal Zone. They don't count in the license plate game.) Hawaii it was. I haven't seen Hawaii in several years, and I don't recall ever scoring one this early in the year. Moral of story: Pay your debts, park illegally, and you may get a pleasant surprise. The year-to-date count stands at 27.
