Fastest DL Evah!

I've needed to renew my driver's license for quite some time, but have been avoiding it, hoping it might go away. Well, it would, the license anyway on my birthday. Yesterday I took a late lunch and ran to the Edina Hennepin County Service Center. It's a big square room ringed be clerky type civil servants, with chairs and writing areas with a central play area for kids and monitors that flash the number of who's being served. The gate keeper/receptionist funnels everyone to make sure they've got what they need to get in and the paper work they need to fill out. When I checked in, she gave me a sheet to fill out, and said to go to the window when my number was called, regardless of whether the sheet was done. I about got to the writing tables when my number was called. So, I went to the window, filled out the form, had my picture taken, and left the building in about five minutes.

There aren't many things I'll miss about Missouri, but I don't think I've spent an hour total at the DMV here. They seem to have two states -- efficient and *very* efficient.
