(+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.

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?

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.

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???

The concept of "local" is itself sorta fuzzy these days.
On one side you hear - increase minimum wage.
On the other side you hear - local labor is expensive, hence the Chinese goods.
Increase in globalization will always hurt the first world more than the developing nations. The one way to fight that is to improve efficiency, find better energy sources, minimize waste, reduce population etc. Easier said than done.

It's a pretty easy concept. The first three things he listed, "improve efficiency, find better energy sources, minimize waste", are more easily approached and solved with a smaller population.
