Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I kind of think it makes sense, though, since the laws are different from state to state.

I just had to take a vision test for Md. Actually, have to take that every time I renew it. It never occurred to me to get a NC license when I was in college. It would just mean another trip to DMV hell, and here I had a perfectly good license.... Also, I knew to go to the teeny DMV the next town over in NM to get licensed. No waiting!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, me too. Of course, I didn't know about the test before I showed up, but guessing like a 85 yr old lady got me through it. Got me through every test so far, basically. Except for the Traffic School test. That was actually hard.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, I've never been bothered by it.

the inner ear can sense stuff like acceleration and deceleration (at least I think that's where they keep the organs)

Thanks, ita. (Of course, my scary visual place now imagines musical instruments inside cat's ears. Silly me). I've been more skipping than anything else lately - have you been already to Montreal this year? If so, how was it, and if not, are you planning on doing this? IIRC, it was around these dates last year, that's why I ask.

Not that I remember anything I learned when I got my original license a hundred years ago, and not that I really drive anymore, but needless to say, I have no idea what the NY standards are, and I have a valid NY driver's license.

But also, if they are standing, the actual acceleation will make them bobble on their feet, or at least they'll find it hard to stand while accelerating and they are more apt to fall over.

But once you're going a steady speed, they're good.

Bear, on the other hand, stands for the entire ride with her head out the window. even at 85 MPH. In fact, she might get tired (during a 5 hour car ride) and lie down, but as soon as you roll the window up, she's back on her feet, begging.

It makes sense, it just is a pain. Unless you are one of the lucky few who has an incredibly organized, transparent and helpful DMV/MVA.

There's gotta be one, right?

Actually, CA's DMV, once you have your license, is good. they do renewal by mail or online.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Happy Birthday Kat!

Can I have some cake, too, since I'm glad you were born?
