  I got a new driver's license this morning. It took almost 50 minutes to renew my license. I had to interact with 9 people at the DMV. It cost $5 for my new license. No wonder the government has no money. It should have taken 10-15 minutes tops to get this done. Instead I had to tromp around from window to window, filling out a form, passing a form between enough people to field a baseball team, walking to another window, picking up another form, walking to another window... All those people pushing paper around, collecting a nice government paycheck and collecting my $5.
Just killing time down at the DMV. My dad had surgery on Monday. Another hip replacement - or I guess it's actually a replacement of the hip replacement. I was anxious about him getting this surgery, but it sounds like he made it through okay and is recovering nicely. That's a relief. Here's to a quick recovery!
