Just a quick one....

New York continues to amaze me ... both in the good way and in the "what were they thinking" way. I got my driver's license yesterday in the mail. 9 days from application for replacement day! Pretty amazing.

Now, that said, getting a reduced price Metrocard (because I am OLD, people, and I have earned it) is harder than getting Social Security. I have already talked about how easy it was to get Social Security. A reduced price Metrocard, however requires everything except fingerprints and number of fillings in back teeth. The application ... notarized, photo attached, copy of all possible documentation attached, went out last Wednesday. Stay tuned but do NOT hold your breath.
