DMV trip this morning

[cjsmith]

I have a temporary disabled parking hang-tag again, for the first time in probably a year. (I gave up on the doctor who couldn't fill out her section of the form. Now I have a doctor again!)

Amazing how quickly one can get into and out of the DMV, without an appointment, if one is willing to show up and queue up before the place opens. I was at work by twenty after eight.

I don't need the placard all the time. I don't even need it frequently. For certain situations, though, there's no substitute. The alternative is to stay home. There's a growing list of events and places I simply won't go.

It's amazing what a relief it is to know I have this thing.

We're going to a big event in southern California in a couple of weeks. (AOPA Expo, in Palm Springs.) Rob arranged for a rented scooter and now I have the placard. Without those I wouldn't DREAM of going to anything that big!

It will be a godsend for this. I should really buy one so I can do things like malls and street fairs. Bonus points if it can get my head up to the level of everybody else in the crowd :)

Good for you! I'll be interested to hear about your experience with the rental company -- I have a friend who *really* needs a scooter (or powerchair). Do they bring it to the hotel/convention center, or do you have to pick it up?

They bring it to the hotel. I'll write about it here & let you know how it worked out!
