It's not really a license
Today, it's really just a very inconvenient tax and I think it should be described as such. Just call it a marriage tax, let us mail off a check to the state and be done with it. When I got my driver's license, I had to take a written test covering the laws of the road and a driving test to show that I could in fact safely operate a motor vehicle without killing myself or others. Years ago when I got a permit to carry a concealed weapon, I had to have my criminal background checked. But to get married? All I need is a few twenties in my wallet and another person to sign on the dotted line. April Fools By the time you read this, April Fools will have passed. Hopefully you didn't get pranked, at least not badly. I have no plans to play any jokes on people. One of my favorite pranks was done by a Mobile television station years ago. The report was about the "doughnut harvest." And the "seeds" were Cheerios. Very clever. Big city, small town I was talking to the guys at the tire shop the other day about Atlanta, and we all agreed the traffic is a huge downer. Then there's the hustle and bustle. Some folks get charged up by that, and others think of it like nails on a chalkboard. I think I swing back and forth between the two.
One thing I've found is that in a huge metropolis like an Atlanta a lot of folks tend to stay in their little area of town as much as possible to avoid the traffic snarls. They've in effect tried to create a small town out of their big city suburb. Something to ponder there.
