BUREAUCRACY: Mr. Cranky is on the road again


The Cranky Friend has finally resolved his protracted disputes with the Harrisburg powers-that-be, and on Thursday I drove him to the auto-tag place to pick up his shiny, brand-new license plate, complete with a fully valid registration sticker. After not being able to drive for months, he was so happy he was practically cradling the license plate in his arms.
I asked him if his driving and parking skills would be rusty after so much time off the road, and did he perhaps need me to walk him through his first effort at a self-service gas pump. His reply showed how quickly he can revert to his usual crankiness.
