Florida Tennis Fans to Get Specialty License Plates

After my little display of drama earlier today about Maria Sharapova assuming the number one spot, I figure I should talk about something inane and arbitrary. So let’s talk about license plates.

I’ve never been the type to have some flashy specialty license plate on my vehicle. Perhaps because I don’t drive a particularly flashy set of wheels. In fact…yes, let’s not go there. But for you Floridians, your chance to support the wonderful sport of tennis via your license plates has finally arrived. Thank goodness! Any longer, and you might have passed out from the breath you’ve been holding for years.

Apparently, a law tennis license plates is on the governor’s desk and is expected to be signed shortly. The proceeds from the extra fees will go towards grants for nonprofit organizations to use on youth tennis programs and to keep up public tennis facilities.

So not only will the money be used to possibly groom a future American all-star, it will also be used to help keep the rest of Florida’s aging population in shape and out of the doctor’s office by providing acceptable courts for them to play on.

I, personally, would find it quite ironic if the law was not signed. I’m probably alone in that…yeah, definitely alone.
