An Occasional Correspondent sends along the following...
'I haven't left my house in days.
I watch the news channels incessantly.
All the news stories are about the election;
All the commercials are for Viagra and Cialis.
Election - erection - election - erection
- - - either way we're getting fucked!'
-- Bette Midler.
You GO, Bette!
I haven't left the house in hours but I'm getting ready to motor over to The Big(ger) City™ to give The Green Hornet a bath and see if the Clovis MVD is more user-friendly than their P-Ville counterpart. We've assembled a few pieces of paper with our Social Security number emblazoned prominently thereupon (plus other required pieces of Very Important Paper) and we shall attempt to do what must be done without an actual Social Security card... for the fun that should be in it and to satisfy our misguided need to tilt at windmills. If this second effort fails I'll admit defeat and go from the MVD to the Social Security office to get the requisite letter. But until that time it'll be "Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more..."
Update, 1430 hrs: Success!
Well, sorta. The Green Hornet is registered and titled in New Mexico but I still don't have a New Mexico driver's license, seein' as how I failed the inter-agency check. It further seems like I owe the state of New Yawk 25 Yankee Dollars for failing to return the NY license plates on ECMdP when I registered her in Texas back in 1999. And New Yawk will NOT be denied what she is owed. It only took me 24 minutes and 16 seconds of working through IVR Hell to reach a person who (a) knew what the problem was (all I got from the NM MVD was "call this number, you failed.") and (b) gave me explicit instructions on where to go and how to rectify the problem. Oh, and give 'em 48 to 72 hours after I pay the fine to fix all the records.
Oh and BTW... I got all this done at the P-Ville MVD. The lady there was very nice and professional after she consulted Higher Headquarters to find out that, yes, a USAF ID and a Medicare card would suffice for proof of Social Security.
Yays! We WIN! For once. Sorta.
