DMV
I know it's cliche to complain about the DMV, but OH MY FRIGGIN GOSH!
I was DMVing from 9:30 AM to 3:45 PM and the experience cost Kelly and me over $705 to add no value to our vehicles, just register and title them in California.
Our New York plates are of course rusted in place after four upstate winters, so the California plates are not on yet. The bolts are marinating in WD-40 until tomorrow. Piddy Ting has the new plates.
The smog check guy laughed at the rust on our cars. Pam, the DMV worker who verified the VIN number on Piddy Ting, told me the bike was really nice three different times. I'd think she wanted a ride if she wasn't twice my size.
After five hours of jumping through hurtles to register cars, I then had to get my California driver license. They don't just take your word for it that you can drive, just because some other state licensed you, you have to take the worlds hardest written exam. The questions on the written test are way harder than the ones on the sample exams.
Kelly and I both BARELY passed the Class C license test, and I failed the motorcycle test once and just passed it the second time, with the maximum number of questions wrong (4 of 15).
We move into the townhouse in Lancaster tomorrow.

I got 7 of 10 on the first practice test, but frankly I was guessing at most of them. What minutia! I just assumed that whatever the rule they were trying to test for, that since it was California, just choose the most restrictive and overbearing application of the rule. Forget what would be most reasonable for a law-abiding adult and just assume that the California government is your mommy and daddy and that you are three. I've never been to another state that has as many rules and regulations on the roadways. I've nearly driven off the road in spots trying to decipher the overwhelming amount of signage and painted lines telling me what to do.

California is weird. In some ways it's the one of most democratic states, in others it's oppressively regulatory. I don't want to get into politics, but California is like New York State except that voters still run the government here.

Sorry, you did want to avoid the political on this blog, didn't you.

Whenever I go to the DMV, it always ends with me crying.

NYC has a fast DMV. It's actually an office where the whole process is deliberately sped up. I think it's called DMV Express or something. But they sure aren't kidding. You are in and out in a flash. This is kind of odd in a city where not many people drive.

If you are running an online business, you must be having a website. For any kind of business, you need to flaunt your products or services to your potential customers in order to increase the sales leads.

He who would acquire fame must not show himself afraid of censure. The dread of censure is the death of genius.
