DMV

I took 6 crisp new $20 bills with me to DMV today. Tami warned me they only take cash, and I was prepared for all fees to get things squared away and be here legally.

What I did not expect was a bill for "Highway User Fee" of $688.65. Oh, that includes my license plate, but not my driver's license, which I did have to pay $21.50 in cash.

So, I dropped over $700 today at the DMV, when I expected maybe $80.

I love New Orleans, I love New Orleans, I love New Orleans.

Sigh.

Dayton voting:

Three - firm yes (Jen, Gail, Charan)
Two - no (for now - Susan and Michele had the exact same logic)

Not yet voting - I know Lalo would say NO, Karen yes (because it would be entertaining stories), Sabine no (because of her own marriage issues), Amy probably yes, Gomez probably yes ("whatever makes you happy" would be his exact words), Fred a HUGE yes, Lara probably yes (Toby can always use more cousins) ... hm, whom else do I hound for advice?

I'm voting w/ both my hands, so you can count me as 2 "yes" votes.

So Keith says, "Sounds like she really has feelings for him, but they have cultural differences." ??? Sounds like a resounding 'yes' to me.
And my mom--the benchmark of relationship advice--says it's too much hassle and that there are probably nice boys in NOLA.
Then I got to examining my "yes" vote--that basically he's the only guy you've been really excited about for a long time and I really really want you to go for it no matter what--and my own romantic life shifted into sharp perspective. Maybe you should think about that as you consider my 'yes' vote.
