Well there's a new Bartlemobile and since the old Bartlemobile was crushed like a sardine can, and along with it the now 13 year old
Save the Bay license plates, there will be new plates issued by the
Old Line State. Of course I could just get the boring old white ones procured for me by the dealership, or I could stick with the
Heron and Crab which actually would complement the new car's Dolphin Gray exterior. But, as I am a bike nerd, I have decided to support the
Washington Area Bicycling Association (WABA) and sport the organization's Maryland plate. I'm not yet sure where I will fall in the 0001 - 9999 lineup, but the notion of just needing to memorize a 4-digit integer is attractive. The old cerebellum isn't what it used to be and the notion of memorizing UXP-968 isn't nearly as appealing somehow. So we'll see how it goes and at least I'll have the smug satisfaction of knowing I'm bossing other drivers around while motoring.
