Just back from the Illinois DMV

I renewed my Texas drivers license online a few weeks ago. I was surprised to see that it said "Click here if you are a US citizen", "Click here if you want to register to vote", and "Click here if you can see OK". Not exact quotes but close.

Sorry if $225 seems like a lot to you but I think 20 years from now we'll look back and wonder how we could have let cars "cost" the city so much without trying to recoup more of the cost from those who choose to own them.
No... the $225 is fine - a nice break after living in Massachusetts.

It was the four hours - and the missed day of work. That was tough.

We took the train up (from Hyde Park).

Hope you had a nice bike ride.

I renewed the registration on my 1999 Toyota Sienna this week at a cost of $53.50, really a bargain. What makes no sense to me however is that the annual registration costs $40 for my 4 x 8 utility trailer that has a carrying capacity of 800 pounds and cost $500.
