April License Plate ReportApril 30, 2006 South Carolina, Kentucky, Minnesota, and D.C. For a year-to-date total of 35 -- 36 if you count D.C. My rival and collaborator, the estimable sports editor Don Lyons, doesn't. I do, mainly because I lived there for 11 years altogether and as far as I'm concerned it's a realer state than say, North Dakota, even if it doesn't have any voting members of Congress. (Insert "D.C.: Last Colony" rant here.) I finally photocopied myself a map and started coloring it in. This year's color seems to be blue. When I finished blue-ing all the states on my list, I realized I'd forgotten Florida. For sure I first saw it in January, and several times since (there's a lot of it going around), but I couldn't swear to what day. Possibly New Year's, because there's an old station wagon in my neighborhood with Florida plates. It's parked on the lawn of a summer person's house, and Rhodry and I walk by it nearly every day. I've logged it in officially at #25, the last sighting in January. Around noon I'm off to Cambridge, via ferry, bus, and the good ol' MTA (in honor of good ol' Charlie, "the man who never returned," I still can't bring myself to call it the T) to hear James Keelaghan at Club Passim. Once I get off the boat in Woods Hole, no license plate sightings count till I get back tomorrow -- early afternoon, most likely. P.S. (May 1, 2006) Spotted West Virginia driving onto the ferry and then confirmed the sighting in Woods Hole, when I saw it drive off the ferry. West Virginia in April isn't quite as astonishing as Oklahoma in January, but it's still pretty good.
