Doesn't a picture that out of date defeat the purpose of a photo ID?
OTOH with licenses without the last few decades of security features built being valid in must make your state the fake ID capital of the US. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The DMV here in the little town of Hudson NY has maybe 3 people in line at most, and there's 2 or 3 clerks to service everyone at any given time. In and out in 5 minutes usually.
As well with the post office on tax day, when I used to live in San Diego I discovered it was well worth the effort to drive to some tiny little town outside of the city (like Spring Valley) and use their DMV and postal services. A 20 minute drive would save me 3-4 hours of lines.

Or, get your taxes done one day earlier. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Actually, I usually do, but on the other hand, I have no desire to give the government those lying, cheating, no good bastards called Congress my money any sooner than absolutely necessary.

(+5) I'll chime in here with a "me too" answer and re-assert that this strategy works in Texas as well. I have tried variations of this for myself and multiple trips for 3 teenagers (ie. for the DMV option) and it works. I've had mixed results with the postal service option though...

AAA near where I live has registry services (renew license and some additional services). Quick service within 30 minutes, unless it is on Saturday then it turns to DMV line

The longest line I've ever been in at my DMV on a Saturday morning was 1 minute. The young lady in front of me didn't know her SSN; and when she tried to call home to ask her father the DMV clerk told her if she didn't have it memorized she needed to show him her card to get a new license issued. 
Dunno if that was an anti-ID fraud requirement or if he was just being a sunshine. I rattled off my number, got a new mugshot taken, and after 3 or 4 attempts to get something that looked vaguely like my signature out of what appeared to be a 15yo severely worn electronic signature pad was free to go.

First man: Am a one man, one wife person!
Second man: Well, am not! I am going to enjoy myself now that we have more women then men. If the table is to be turned, don't you think the women will do the same?

What, the women will take more than one wife?
I'm confused, and so is all my clan.

You assume there was something there to be lost in the first place.

Hmmmm.
It had always been my impression that expression one-man, one-wife were party of the safety instruction that all men should take due notice of.

I just don't get invited to those sort of parties.

Everyone gets so mad about not buying local. So riddle me this batman (and Bat Ladies) What the heck is the difference between buying from Sears via the Mail from 1900 and buying from Amazon via the mail/ups of today? I don't see the difference all that much. I would much rather give the business to Amazon than Walmart? Just saying. and I do support local when I can. But seriously. I can shop from home in my underwear instead of going to Walmart and seeing people shoping in their underwear. Discuss???
