Admittedly, blogging about license plates is a boring idea.
Texas started issuing new license plates on November 1, 2009. I could not help but notice a pattern in the new plate numbers. I sincerely tried to ignore this patter, but the geek inside me would not let it simply be there. I threw a small spiral notepad and a pencil in my truck. Every time I saw a new set of numbers I wrote down the date and any other circumstances I felt were pertinent at the time.
Here I plan to share my plate tracking experience. It is sure to be the epitome of mundane. Regardless, I will persevere for a couple of personal reasons. First, it gives me a steady topic to practice writing. Like many others I've started several neglected blogs. Secondly, I find irrelevant data interesting in some context. The dates found in this blog are about as irrelevant as they can be because they are the dates I saw the plate. Not the date they were issued. Not the dates they stopped issuing. Simply the dates I saw them "in the wild". Some I see in an order that makes since. Others I missed until well after their order. I will explain the spotting and recording of plates in more detail in another post (probably the next post).
