Drove circa 800 miles north to go on holiday and visit some of our best friends. Along the way we saw dozens of license plates from nearby & far away states. I know this because the kids diligently took track of it all, including two New Yorkers. Most of the drive included some form of rain but on occasion it was light enough that we could look outside and what we saw was grand and a switch to what we witnessed in horror on our last drive up.
With all that said I can pronounce folks that the State of the State IS green. The way I remember it and how it should be.
