Texas


A few hours to get through social security. It didn't take nearly as long
as it looked like it was going to take. The driver's license bureau line
wasn't as long as the social security line. Friendly helpful people all
around; even fun people to talk to in line. The guard at the door for
social security was downright charming.

Funny thing. We couldn't get driver's licenses without showing Colorado
licenses, passports, social security cards, insurance cards, and vehicle
registrations. The social security cards were the key, so we did that
first. Know what it took to get the social security cards? Colorado
driver's licenses. That's it. The key to getting our Texas driver's
licenses, social security cards, we got with our Colorado driver's licenses.

I know the government is trying hard to implement systems to keep us secure.
It would be hard to coordinate all the parts and keep them from going in
circles sometimes.
