Mind you, back around the end of the 20th century, many states chose to outsource the services to the highest bidder. Mine was private, so had actual smiles and helpfulness.
But people’s mad rush to – finally – get the documents together a Real ID, made it a long process.
Yesterday, I stopped around 10 am, but the lines were literally stretching the out the door.
Today, I arrived around 7:30. There were already 8 people in front of me.

As my knee makes it hard to stand for long, I asked the people behind me if they would mind saving my place while I sat down. It only took around a half hour to get this down.
I’m off to rehab. Oh, JOY!
