The Rx My Car Needs

My dad once looked the Washington Nationals cap on my head and asked, "Why are wearing a Walgreens cap?"

Back in the summer, I relayed that story to my friend, Chad, and he has teased me about it sense.

Today, I see my home state, Virginia, is now offering a Washington Nationals license plate, well that is if the state receives 450 prepaid applications.

Make that 449 because I'm sending in my application today, so I can, as the news release states, show off my "Natitude."

With the good feeling the Nats left us with – I'm talking about the season as a whole, not the dreadful game 5 of the NLDS – I'm sure those 449 applications will be no problem, particularly in the Northern part of the commonwealth.

Sure, it's an additional $25 to my annual vehicle registration, but if I can show off my Natitude on the mean streets around Southwest Virginia, it’ll totally be worth the extra cash.

I'm sure I'd waste that $25 someplace else, anyway.

And you know, I'm guessing I'll one the only person in Southwest Virginia with the plates. This, for some strange reason, is Braves country.

I emailed the rendered image of the Curly Dub plate to my wife, asking her if she wanted a set for her sporty minivan.

Her reply: "No. I don't want people to think I'm a pharmacist."

Eveyone's a wiseguy.
