My car registration needs to be renewed by the 29th, so I went looking for a service station to do the annual inspection yesterday. I had to drive about five miles to find one which had an inspector, passing about 20 other stations along the way. All of those had food marts or car washes, but no live attendants or service bay people. This is an annoying trend, no? What are we gonna do when the mom and pop gas stations all close?

Shame, isn't it?

(this has always cracked me up, and it's been around since time immemorial ... what, they service civil rights leaders? ... okay, maybe it's funnier when you're stuck across from it in wicked rush-hour traffic)
