The waiting area at the Secretary of States Office was full when I arrived at 5 so I took a number and found a seat.  My number was 95 but they were serving 65.  30 people were ahead of me but since there were 5 agents working I felt certain that they could process 30  people in 2 hours.  After all, that is only 6 people per agent and only 3 per hour.  Surely they could process that many in that time frame.

But wait, there are people getting waited on that don’t have a number.  They just seem to walk up to the counter.  Ah yes.  These are the people who had started the process earlier but could not complete their transaction.  Maybe the Secretary of State needed more information for the transaction or they had to take a written test.  Regardless, they were given a pass to the head of the line.  I looked over the office and concluded that there must be at least another 30 people with a pass to the head of the line.  Suddenly, there were now 60 people ahead of me and I wasn’t sure if I would make it in time.

Since my earlier attempts at a quick and easy renew of my drivers license had failed, I resigned myself to the fact that I needed to try a different office with the understanding that I might have to wait for a while.  So, I chose an office near my home that had always had a short line.  Plus, I chose a day that had extended hours just in case there was a wait.  So when I arrived a 5PM, I found that there were 30 people ahead of me.  But since the office was opened until 7PM, I felt sure that I would have plenty of time.

My drivers license was due to expire so I needed to get it renewed.  Unfortunately, they wanted to see me in person instead of letting me renew by mail.  DRAT!!  This meant that I would have to wait in their office for hours.

But then I remembered that one of the local offices always seemed to have almost no lines.  So, I thought that I would give it a shot first thing in the morning.  But when I arrived, the line to the office was out the door and down the walk.  Not good.  Maybe it would be better after lunch.  But when I stopped, there were 30 people ahead of me. So, I abandoned that idea and went to plan B.

In an ad for an art exhibition, they note that most of the art is for sale.  Somehow, I thought that the purpose of an art exhibition was to sell art.  But hey, what do I know.

Since this sign caught my attention, I had to wonder if a Disco ball is coming soon.

Microsoft is now offering a free upgrade to Windows 10.  Windows 8 was such a horrible program that Microsoft felt guilty.  Since I absolutely hate 8, I am going to take advantage of the free upgrade offer.  Details to follow.

After the recent movie theater shooting, an actress is calling for stricter gun control laws for criminals and the insane.  Well, present gun control laws prohibit criminals and the insane from owning guns, so I don’t know how the laws could be improved.

MSU recently hosted a conference for 14,000 Boy Scouts.  Apparently Monday was check in day and lunch was not included.  As I was driving to lunch, I saw a whole herd of them walking towards my favorite fast food place.  Fortunately, I beat them but only by a couple of minutes.  Soon, the place was full of khaki outfits with knee high socks.  Fortunately, I already had my food and was eating by the time that they arrived.

There is a squirrel in the tree.  My wife has a peanut in her hand.  She wants the squirrel to come down and take the peanut from her hand.  The squirrel wants her to drop the peanut and leave.  In the end, the squirrel wins.  But tomorrow is another day.

A TV ad for eliminating sexual impotency says that you can try out their techniques for free right there in their office.  Now, I am not sure what their techniques consist of but I would be a little concerned about the place being raided by the police.
