Reality Television Got It Wrong

My wife, Laura, and I have moved into our new condo. It's really nice, and we love it. Scarlet, our dog, loves her little yard, too.

Today, we had to go to the DMV to update the addresses on our vehicle registrations and drivers' licenses. It was the "express" DMV office--but its DSL connections to the main office were down, so it wasn't too "express" at first. While standing in line, Laura and I were observing the other people in the line...It was better than reality television. Quite entertaining.

Seriously, the conversations we heard between the people in the line as well as the cell phone conversations were crazy. Scripted "reality" television wastes money on the "creativity departments" they employ. Just stick a hidden camera in the DMV when the computers are down--that would be good reality television.

Oh, the joys of public/crowd cell phone use. The kind of information people are willing to share in public never ceases to amaze me.
