So the DMV calls me the other day. The DMV! I didn't know their phones actually dialed out. When I moved back in March, I'd filled out a form for my change of address from the DMV, and they had a box you could check to have them change your voter registration as well. "How convenient!" I thought.

Well, it was getting pretty near election time and I had not received any voter info yet, so I called up and found out that I'm not regsistered. And it was too late to register.

So I left an annoyed comment on the DMV website, and they called me back. To apologize. It's a miracle!

Our commute is four and a half miles. There are 27 stoplights. MapBlast seems to think it should take us a mere 9 minutes; generally, it's about 20. This morning less than half of the lights were green when we got to them.

I know, this commute is peanuts compared to a lot of people, but.. 27 stoplights! Arrgh!
