I had to go to the DMV to pay my registration fee on Saturday. If you're from Southern California, you're probably thinking, "The DMV? You mean purgatory? NOOOO! I'm having flashbacks!" If you're not from Southern California or a place that has similar DMVs, ones that are overcrowded and staffed with angry, angry people, then you're probably thinking either, "What is a DMV?" or "What's so bad about going to the DMV?" Well, not only is it purgatory, but on a Saturday, it is generally far worse - let's compare it to getting a shot in the eye by a blind optometrist with the shakes - because the DMVs around these parts are only open one Saturday a month. "Ridiculous," you say? Indeed! Because most people aren't able to go to the DMV on a weekday, so Saturdays are much more convenient. Did I mention that the DMV becomes FAR more foreboding when you didn't think ahead to make an appointment? Well, it does, so now you see why I had braced myself for weeping, wailing, and gnashing of teeth.

But Seth and Nathan informed Brandon that in south Orange County, there are certain DMVs that are never crowded. No, really! So he sent me off to one of them, and lo and behold, Seth and Nathan were indeed right. I was in and out in maybe 10 minutes. Where was the DMV I went to? I'm so not telling. Because then, when I lose my mail-in registration papers and have to go to the DMV to pay again next year, the wonderful, convenient and efficient DMV I visited will have ceased to exist, ruined by the hoards of people who will go there if I tell.
