Now is time for a new blog item. What do missionaries do on furlough. I think that would be worth reading.
One of my best memories was when my father was to be the special speaker at a Christian Campground in Idaho for two weeks. The was a measles or chickenpox outbreak in the area and camp was cancelled for the two weeks, and we "had to" just hang around and use the camp facilities. Only staff members were there except one day a week when a couple of churches would join us for services (I think on Wednesday evening). pr

So many people write LOL and don't mean it. I really did laugh out loud at this one!!!

I have complained for the last time about sitting in the DMV for 30 minutes!

What? No government official to affix the four stickers (for a small fee, of course)? By the way, I'm sending you a case of Axe. It's a spray for ridding yourself of body odor. Next time you're in line like that, you can "accidentally" spray it on everyone around you.

I'm thinking that if your brakes FAILED, you'd actually SUCCEED in ridding a superfulous level of Stalin-era bureaucracy. Must have been a moment's hesitation when you had to apply the brake pedal. You might have been the first missionary elected to government office.

K&JBarton As usual a great read. I started laughing so hard the Mrs came to see what I was reading!! Of course Florida stopped vehicle inspections about 20 years ago so one can drive without brakes on I-4 with inpunity!! When you think about it, it's like a thrill ride without paying $70.00 to get into the theme parks...yeehaa!! God bless you and yours as you travel.

Geez, David, this story is all so obviously FAKE - you really shouldn't have laid it on so thick - we all KNOW that the USA has bar-none the worst possible DMV auto-registration process in the entire known universe, so just give it up, ok??? (and we all know your sunburn was because you fell asleep in the TANNING SALON!!!!) ;)

Great writing, and an even greater explanation of what missionaries actually spend a lot of time doing. If it weren't for the ability to give the gospel in the midst of the odorous masses, the missionary task might never be accomplished.

I'm wondering when FX County will replace their antiquated safety inspection system with the more modern "acceleration test." :) The way people drive on the beltway, they ought to love it!

Thanks for the color commentary! It is amazing that you can turn such a terrible day into a good read.
