This may have set some sort of record.

I wrote April 25 about how fast and efficient the Merced DMV office had been that day when I went in to replace a lost license. Twenty minutes in and out.

The Lovely Sarah (she has now become a local icon) told me, pro forma, that it could be three to four weeks before the new one landed.

I got it sometime last week (while I was out of town).

In other words, from time of application to my mailbox was A WEEK OR LESS.

Thanks again, Merced chapter of the DMV.

No wonder I'm even smilin' in the photo....
