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.
