Happy St Paddy’s Day
We started the day with green waffles! Thanks, Brenda.
Today is also the anniversary of the day that I started playing the license plate game, 7 years ago. You might remember my post from last year where I described the rules. This past year was a good year for spotting plates; I’ve seen 603 plates in order since I started the game. In the past year that’s 103 plates, well above the long term average of the first 6 years of 83 plates per year.
That brings the new average rate since I began playing up to a little over 86 plates/year (7.2 plates per month) or 1 plate every 4.2 days. Unfortunately, it’s not consistent – sometimes I’ve seen several plates in a day and other times weeks will go by before I find the plate I’m looking for.
By the way, despite the Alberta government claiming that the ABC-123 format plate pool would be exhausted in summer 2009 and that ABC-1234 format plates would be out before 2010, I have not yet seen a plate in the new format.
