The DMV Experience in Dairyland
This is the blue Ribbon crochet entry from the County fair. I was with Fireman who was moving right along. Sorry for the less than great photo.
This is my hat. I'm loving it. !!! More later.
So yesterday was our day at the Wisconsin DMV. You have a few weeks to get your new license when you relocate.
*A man went up to the counter and the clerk said, 'I'm sorry sir. Silver is not a hair color. What color would you like your hair to be?' Little bit of denial there.....I dont know why but I love grey hair.
*My new plates are ridiculously easy to remember. My clerk said if I ever wanted to sell Honda Rhonda to let her know. (Chris has a nephew who loves old stick shift Honda civics) I told her we would likely run her to the ground.
*The very fact that people speak and make eye contact at the DMV is amazing to me. My entire life I was treated just as curtly as everyone else at Illinois Cook County DMV.
*Now I am free of the nagging worry that I will be called to jury duty at 26th and California. No one, in their right mind, wants that jury duty. The neighbor hood is very sad and sketchy. It is the criminal courts building. I can finally get my mail without that scary surprise coming to me.
*Finally, I told the truth about my weight on the form. I'm about to lose a landmark pound any time now.
I forgot my knitting. What? That's how distracted I can get. What better place to knit while you wait than at the DMV. I did the next best thing, I read your blogs. :)

Love the hat and how the yarns are playing together.

Anything I have to do in one of the big city government centres (like Passport Canada) I do first thing as soon as they open. I may have to get up early, but it saves a lot of time waiting.
I know just what you mean about that jury duty thing. When I lived in town it was terrifying to think you might get called. My sister did a 3 week sequestered murder trial. It was horrifying for her. I live in the sticks now and when I get the notification, I never even make the list to have to go in.
Nice to be a legal resident, isn't it?! lol
Like you, it's not being called for jury duty that I fear so much as which location I might be called for! We have several with varying degrees of scariness!
