Okay - something I just don't understand: people who go into a coffee shop for a drink and wind up ordering something completely ridiculous. Half-caf soy latte, unsweet, half-foam, a shot of sugar-free caramel flavoring, no whip. Jeez, just take the fun right out of ordering a latte. I mean, what are normal people supposed to say after that? "Hi, can I have a pumpkin spice latte? Um... just the pumpkin... and the spice? No, no - no special instructions." Seriously?

Also, I seem to have purchased about a pound of roasted pumpkin seeds, so if you want any, I'm leaving them in the kitchen. They're pretty much delicious.

Nothing wrong with that. I can teach both of you and Sarah. She's been doing pretty well. Maybe once she gets her licence, she can help me teach the two of you how to do things.

Korvus and perhaps Sarah also will also need to take the state-approved drivers education classes and there was some irregular number of hours with a sanctioned instructor. He will also have to bring an immense pile of paperwork to the DMV since I assume he is in the country on a student visa or refugee green card? It was a paperwork nightmare to get my drivers' license and from what I recall it was not much better for my American classmates at the time.

It was quite irritating. It is possible I am still taking out my irritation with it on innocent parked cars.

Paperwork is, indeed, a pain. If I remember correctly, when I had to do all this, I needed about four different items to verify I was who I was and then I had to do a bunch of other stuff, plus the state exam and then the vision exam and the road sign exam.

But paperwork can be conquered.

See, now I'm all kinds of curious. What're you doing to the innocent, parked cars?

I had to have all of the items to prove who I was, plus the paperwork to prove that the Professor could act as my guardian in lieu of my parents, plus also I had to prove that I was not eligible for a social security number because I was a student on a visa, and was not going to work in the United States at the time. It was absurd. and then, yes, the written test which I think was both the exam and the road signs, and then the vision test and then also the road test later after I had my learning permit for some number of months I do not recall at the moment.

Occasionally I hit them with another vehicle while I am attempting to park it. This is why I do not drive often.

Practical exam - I was really good at that. The rest of it was kind of boring, but I wound up studying it so I could actually, you know, get my license and stuff.

I'm pretty sure all that stuff you had to do to get your license was meant to reassure the people giving you the license that you weren't actually going to hit parked cars while attempting to park your own. Just sayin'.

In my defense, even if I am terrible at parking, I can drive a Jeep quite adeptly while in a very bad part of the world, trying to animate a herd of antelope and attempting to avoid the potholes, gunshots and other distractions (namely Bishop and Remy)around me.

I'm going to take you bogging. This will have to wait until next year and it will involve me stealing Sam's truck... it will also involve you not wearing anything you don't want getting muddy. But! It'll be awesome.

You get bonus points for avoiding the potholes.
