dmv woes

At least I'm not having to deal with the DMV. My poor boyfriend has been trying to get his license renewed for the past three days, having made three separate visits and spent some four or five hours at the DMV so far. Something always seems to be missing with each visit, and the people at the DMV keep sending Rob away. The latest thing is that he seems to have a block from Connecticut's DMV though he's not lived there in over ten years AND has gotten a North Carolina license and had it renewed once in those intervening years. (Plus, the first two times he stopped at the NC DMV, no one mentioned to him that he had this block.) Then, they gave him a phone number for the CT office, but it didn't work, and all they could do was insist that it was the only number they had. When Rob got home, I looked up the number for him on-line, and at least on the web site, there were two numbers listed. The DMV person had given Rob the one for callers INSIDE Connecticut (one of those limited 800 numbers). Argh.

I'm full of sunshine and flowers these days!

So the big news around town is the alleged gang rape of a black exotic dancer by three members of the Duke lacrosse team. It's really quite a horrific story. The local newspaper covers the story briefly. The student newspaper has a couple of more lengthy articles as well: Lax games suspended amid controversy - News and Police release 911 tapes, players deny sex of any kind with dancer at party - News.
