  Just got home from the VERY long morning I spent at the DMV. I took my Mom's advice and blinked a lot when I looked into the vision test machine, which somehow worked (though it was still hard to differentiate between the Os and the Ds). I DID NOT want to be forced to pay for a new eye exam and prescription. SO, I got all that annoying stuff taken care of -- license, registration, tags, title, voter registration, blah, blah, blah.
It's amazing how similar the DMVs are in different states. Long lines, lots of steps in the process, lots of shady-looking people. I'm wondering if there's a secret DMV location where all the classy people go, 'cause I didn't see any of those types this morning. Yup, it was pretty much the monster-truck-shirt-and-camouflage-mesh- trucker's/hunter's-hat-wearing folks with buckteeth. I know it sounds mean, but I only say that since they also acted completely obnoxious!! For example, fighting and slapping/elbowing each other; and these are adults I'm talking about (I don't know if they were brother/sister or husband/wife or what).
Truly amazing. Oh and back to the vision test. There was an older woman who couldn't pass the test either. Not surprising, though, since she couldn't even see her daughter from 5 feet away. And she wants a driver's license??!
