Another Universe

Friday I took off work to go and get my drivers license. It was a very big awaken er. This place is the most awful place in the world. Not only did I not get my license but I also found out that I have to pay more money to get it again. This sucks, but isn't even the worst thing that happened. When I got there the second time after having to go home to get two more Ids for a total of four that you have to have in order to change an out of state license over to Texas I see that that lady in front of me is about 90 and cant hardly stand. I figured that she was there to renew an Id or something NOT!!!! a drivers license. Oh boy was I wrong. As her turn comes up she wheels her way to the counter with her rusted walker and tells the lady she needs to renew her license. She managed to fill all the paper work out in a record time of ten minutes while I stand in line waiting for her to finish. Next is the eye exam. I have never been so scared for my life. She was told to read the Fourth line. She rambles off some numbers and the lady behind the counter asks "what line are you reading?"

"Line four of course." states the old lady
" You got none correct can you try again?" the teller asks.
"Well its kinda fuzzy let me adjust my glasses." the lady says and rambles off some more random numbers.
"Are you sure your reading line four? Your not getting any number right." The lady says
Of course I am reading line four that's what you asked me to read." The old lady says a little irritated now.

"Can you try to read line three?" she asks.

This goes on all the way to line one let me say that again LINE 1! its like the big E on eye charts. the Numbers a huge. which the old lady didn't get a single number right. the lady behind the counter then explained that she is legally blind and needs to go see a doctor to get new glasses. The old lady looks her in the face and says

"I see just fine when I am driving I don't need new glasses."

She leaves and smooth gets in her car and drives off. I was terrified. Needless to say I am not looking forward to my next visit.

The weekend was fun. "Fusion" the band I help run sound for had a little teen concert and it was pretty cool to see all the teens react to the band in a cool way. My friend Brad rocked so hard on the bass on this one song I actually had to stop my self from throwing up the horns in church. The drummer in fusion is like a 15 year old prodigy. Hes going to be good. We also had our first church service in the theater and the sound in there is a MILLION times better than in the old church. I gave my self goose bumps with how awesome the band sounded. Not to toot my own horn or anything. It went really smoothly and I think this will help our church grow and reach some people we may not have been able to reach because of location and timing.

Actually, I had a more pleasant experience than you the last time I was at the DMV to renew my license. I forgot to bring my proof of insurance and the guy behind the desk said, "Oh! I believe you have insurance, it's ok...don't worry about it" and I got my license!
