"Abandon hope all ye who enter here....> It's not a fun plqace to be, Writing a poem about it makes it at least SEEM more bearable. Enjoyed very much. I think th local DMV is a shared plague.

You seem to have a knack for describing people, places and events that I seem to be all too familiar with as well. So you'll be happy to know that if you ever decide to move to Oregon and try our DMV - you'll take a number from the little machine that functions in a different time zone than the "Now Serving" reader boards. Then you'll have plenty of time to sit and watch the comedy of interactions between everyone ahead of you and the DMV employees who are certainly cousins of your California Crew. Enjoyed your poems - I think of them now as a pleasurable, innocuous way of getting back at annoying situations and people in my life.

Sounds almost like I.R.S. As a matter of fact, hmmm? Isn't it Internal Revenue Service you're speaking of?

I feel your pain brother, I feel your pain. Does this mean that Eileen is the only 'legal' driver in your family now?

Seven weeks for a driver's license renewal?! Wow, and I thought my state was bad when it took two weeks to get a license plate renewal.

They've stretched out NJ's license renewal to like 6 years till you get older than 60, then it is back to 4 years...isn't that age profiling...? But with NJ you HAVE to go to the DMV office, present a bunch of differing proofs the you are you & still sometimes they send you home for one more...Ed (lots of fun if the office is ten or more miles away from home)
