Went in to get my Real ID- current lic expires end of month. I'm going to be gone by then, maybe up to a month.
Office only open for 3 - 2hour blocks daily (Web site says 9-5). By appointment only.
Went home, got on line. No appointments available for at least 3 months. That I could see. Maybe poor internet skills, dunno.
Screw it- I'll just get a re-issue "standard" on line. I have a passport for air travel.
Nope - for some reason not eligible..
Google up the private DVM folks on state web site.. Didn't look closely enough - only on the state web site. Address given there is on Sterling Hwy- I glanced that way driving by earlier , and I thought it was a different sign. Called number listed. No answer. Location is listed accurately elsewhere, but not on state web site. "open 2am to 7am. WTF????
Drove back into town to check. Yep . Not there. Guy smoking a cig told me they had moved over to Spur Hwy "next to 5 Star Realty"
Drove that way- didn't see a sign fo 5-Star (it's miniscule), or for the private business Express DMV (it's minuscule). And there are no street numbers on buildings along there.
When I knew I was past it, I stopped at a strip mall for directions. They told me "it's a log cabin on a little hill"
Drove back down - that's the fur place. He told me " brown building next to Frojos". Now that I can find!
The building is blue, not brown, with a 12 by 18 inch sign on it, but it IS next to the restaurant.
OK- I'm on a roll here. 10 munutes to 5. Sign says open to 6. Hot dog!
I had grabbed my Medicare card out of the files instead of the Social Security card.....
In and out in 10 minutes yesterday(the next day).
A mere $71 and a half-day later.
So how is your week going?
