Things You Gotta Do 1

Go to Washington D.C. and have a vehicle inspection.

I have been awake for awhile this morning.
My daughter called at 5:20 A.M. to let me know she had arrived at the Washington D.C. vehicle inspection station. The line of waiting cars was 2 to 3 blocks long. The facility opens at 6:00 A.M. She called me later at 5:40 to let me know the expressions of people arriving and discovering how long the line was.

I had gone through this with her 2 years ago. It took 3 hours. People become enraged at their helplessness in the face of this virtual prison of governments.

There were loose dogs wandering around. Some of them sort of staggered a bit, looking like that rabid dog in To Kill A Mockingbird that the sheriff, Heck, has to ask Atticus to shoot down. There were people selling bottles of water. There was a doll in a flashy dress...
Oh, and they only let you know that you could not use a credit card to pay until after you had sat in line and gone through the test! That explained why we saw so many people hightailing it across the street to the US Post Office: they had to get a money order.

Have a vehicle inspect at D.C.
