Cruising is now against the law, damnit!
Apr. 15th, 2019 06:59 pmI actually had a pleasant trip to the DMV. The key, as always, was proper preparation.
I needed to renew my driver's license and upgrade it to the "Real ID" bullshit. To that end, I studied what the DMV needed, assembled the documents, filled out my application online, and took several practice tests, as I was going to have to take the written test again.
The appointment had been made in January. Yes, the California DMV is that backlogged. But the nice thing was that the earliest appointment I could make was at the Los Gatos location. So after sailing through the process, I took the chance to cruise down North Santa Cruz.
Ah, the street of my youth. So much had changed, but the Los Gatos Theater, where I saw many midnight movies, is still there, as is the Round Table Pizza, and even Travel Advisors, where my dad worked for a very long time. I spent a lot of time on N. Santa Cruz as a kid.
You can't go home again, but you are allowed to visit.
