California drivers over age 70 are required to take a written and vision test every four years at a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office.

A DMV office used to be close to my home. No more. In the name of efficiency, and to save money, the closest office is 15 miles away. But that's okay. I know times are tough and the government is trying to … [Read more...] about How a Visit to the Department of Motor Vehicles Is (and isn’t) Like a Day at Disneyland

I’m in a bar fight with Time right now.  I’m not sure I can even figure out who started it.  At the moment, I’m in the middle of a big transition—moving to new space in a new area to a place that’s needed significant TLC before I moved in.
