Haven’t been to the MVA in a long time. That’s always a good thing. Actually it’s been 5 years.
So far it seems like the same hellish experience it’s always been. So many things in America are universal and whether your state calls it the MVA or DMV, it’s all the same stand-in-line red-tape machine.
I’m waiting for B78 to pop up on the little screen showing who’ll be served next and at which station. Things are slightly more high-tech these days. There’s a sign scrolling with digital trivia questions and entertainment news and safety tips. Oh and there was the Daily Health Tip that said standing up straight and sitting with good posture is good for your back. Solid tip, that.
Wow, that was quick. B78 just flashed.

Save The Internet: because Network Neutrality -- or "Net Neutrality" for short -- is the guiding principle that preserves the free and open Internet. Put simply, Net Neutrality means no discrimination. Net Neutrality prevents Internet providers from blocking, speeding up or slowing down Web content based on its source, ownership or destination. Net Neutrality is the reason why the Internet has driven economic innovation, democratic participation, and free speech online. It protects the consumer's right to use any equipment, content, application or service on a non-discriminatory basis without interference from the network provider. With Net Neutrality, the network's only job is to move data -- not choose which data to privilege with higher quality service.
