License Plate for the Last Limo in New York?

Well, even if this isn't the very last limousine in New York City, its license plate still might be a good way to make it stand out.

License Plate for the Tardy?

Today's blog post comes to you with more than my usual sloth. Nevertheless, I assure you that the following license plate does not belong to me.

Cape Cod 2022: Automobiles

I observed several vehicles of note in Cape Cod this summer. For starters, the Skipper Chowder House in South Yarmouth keeps an old Plymouth Suburban wagon, circa 1950, on the premises.


What is summer in the Cape all about anyway?

Commendably, there is a special Massachusetts license plate for those who support striped bass conservation:

Cape Cod 2022: The Edward Gorey House

For insights into illustrator Edward Gorey's life and art, a visit to the Edward Gorey House in Yarmouth Port is hard to beat. It takes about an hour and a reservation, at least in the summer, is a must.

License Plate for the Unhesitating?

In other words, this is not the license plate for those who prefer to sit around and do nothing:

"YOU GOTA"

I would have spelled it GOTTA, as in Tug McGraw's inspirational "Ya gotta believe," the one-time rallying cry for the New York Mets. But then, I disapprove of ya. Some days there's just no making me happy.

License Plate on the Road to Happiness?

Sometimes one can surmise quite a lot about a driver by his car's license plate. This automobile, for example, recently spotted on the highway, no doubt belongs to a driver who is seeking euphoria.

License Plate for Carrying Trick-or-Treaters?

You can always tell who might be taking a favorite holiday too seriously. Nevertheless, a license plate spotted in the city does more or less seem to be worth sharing as Halloween approaches.

Cape Cod 2021: License Plate for the Trip Home

For me, it's always a sad thing to leave Cape Cod. While driving over the Sagamore Bridge, I spotted this license plate and had it photographed by an obliging front seat passenger.

Cape Cod 2021: Harwich Port

What better way to spend an afternoon in the Cape than to take a walk through town? That's what I did on August 11 in Harwich Port. I figured I might as well take a few photographs along the way to remember how the neighborhood looked.
