Travels had to renew his driver license as we all need to do from time to time. A great piece of ID in today's world and ever so helpful when renting a car.
Now the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles may or may not be better or worse than where you live, but they are rather sub-par in service. Good advice is to always bring a book or magazine as well as enough coin to feed the parking meters. (Trust me they patrol those meters more often then many others. A ticket would just add hurt to all the time spent/wasted at the DMV.)
But I had great amusement while waiting for Godot to process me. There behind the counter, just to the right of the eye test chart was a poster warning of the dangers of DUI. DUI is a real danger on today's roads and reducing that danger is clearly a good thing. And, I am told, that posters can help get a message out to the public.
But, really, does anyone really think that Stevie Wonder is the right star to be featured on such a poster? I love the guy's music. However, I will state for the record that no mater if Mr Wonder is drunk or sober, I'm not getting into a car if he is behind the wheel.
One has to wonder about the brain trust behind the New York DMV.
