    Social How much of a hassle is renewing a driver's license or vehicle license where you live?

    The issue is that Illinois isn't getting the money for registering your vehicle. The fact that your address for the South Dakota registration comes back to an Illinois address suggests that the vehicle is kept and driven in Illinois.

    It was quite a time to be alive. The schools set up televisions to watch the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo launches. The Kennedy shooting was as big of a shock as 9/11. We found out when we went back to school after lunch. I watched the moon landing with my Grandfather at his house. He was born in...

    They don't catch you doing this? I knew a guy in Wisconsin who registered his truck in South Dakota. He got stopped for something. His driver's license was in Wisconsin and always had been but the truck was licensed in South Dakota for three years when it had been registered in Wisconsin before...

    There is usually a line waiting outside for them to open here. Mondays and Fridays are the busiest and Wednesday seems to be the least busy.

    The Real ID might become a problem for voting too. If you can't go into a courthouse without Real ID, it might be difficult to get a copy of a birth certificate which is necessary to get the Real ID. I guess they can be ordered online or by mail now because many people live far from where they...

    How often do you have to renew and do they take a photo each time? Since they changed to an 8 year renewal here they want to take your picture each time. A lot can change in 8 years. Passports are good for ten years but to renew one you can send in your own photo. The DMV has to take your photo...

    I've had a driver's license since the 1960s. I remember always dreading the times when I would have to go to renew a driver's license, register a vehicle or do anything in the office. The people who worked there seemed to be annoyed that they had to talk to people and seemed to hate their jobs...

    Mayberry Chat Thread V5: Dogs are the best

    The same car went by from North to South at least 7 times that I noticed before noon today. It must just be driving around the rural "block" which is one mile square because I saw it go by twice in ten minutes. I did see it go past from South to North one time on Sunday.

    I saw that but somebody was claiming that he could through diplomatic channels. I know a guy who went to Canada fishing every year. He got a DUI and was refused entry but was offered some type of waiver for $200.

    Gen Z gets a bad rap

    It has always been difficult to find good workers but since about 2000, the place I worked seemed to have trouble even finding people who would show up for work. We had a guy in the shop who was saying he had to find a way to make more money. I told him that I knew how he could make twice as...

    The NFL is doing that too with the awful color rush uniforms. At least the whole team wears the same thing. It's not like trying to pick one car out of 30. NASCAR got full of itself. Why have announcers wearing suits. They increased prices until fans stopped coming to races. Between tickets and...

    Your phone company may be screwing you to get you to buy new phones. I started out with Alltel and a Motorola Razr flip phone V3. It worked fine for 6 years. Then Verizon took over and my battery life went from a week to barely making it through a day. I purchased a new battery but it didn't...

    Stewart-Haas is shutting down their NASCAR operations at the end of this year. It seems like it might be just the first of the dominoes to fall in NASCAR. Roger Penske is 87, Joe Gibbs is 83, Jack Rousch is 82, Rick Hendrick is 74. Crowds are down. Television viewership is down. The Coca Cola...
