CT has appointments for everything as well. If you go into that subreddit, you'll find the DMV is nearly universally praised by people for how their experiences have been since Covid.
My last experience in Enfield, I had to get a duplicate title for my car. My appointment was at 4:15pm. You'd think they would almost certainly be running behind, but I got seen right on time. The guy helping me was very efficient, done in under 5 minutes with title in hand.

Yeah I've been really disappointed in all of the Globe's BPS articles like this that seem to make mountains out of molehills, like the piece a few days ago trying to make a 2% budgeting error a giant conspiracy. With the way the comment section for the Globe's been going it's like they're literally just feeding the trolls at this point.

This has got to be an optical illusion. At first the snow just looked like the reflection of the sky on the windshield and it took me like a minute to realize it was actually snow. Now that I see it I can’t I see it though lol

You meet once a week for a roughly a semester. It’s brutal, but mandatory in the end. I know a few who have passed the test instead of taking the class, they might even have test prep books out there now. There is a place in Northampton that offers the course, The Collaborative.

From one lesbian couple to another, welcome! I hope you love it here. Some of the news coming out of the rest of the country makes us uneasy but MA is a solid refuge, especially the Northampton area.

Very bad! How can we expect to be dynamic and strong in the future if our next generation is not well educated! We must fix this!

Haha no, I just remember when he would call the office he’d say, “This is himself”. Also his license plate was just “1”, which I thought was pretty cool.

Thank you for all of the helpful information. Sounds like there are many tasks to be completed. Good to know the completion of these requirements will likely end in a teaching position somewhere in the valley!

Thank you for the welcome! We are looking forward to moving to the area. Seems like a very good environment in which to raise children (particularly of a no traditional family). Also, great to know your wife enjoys her job!

What if you can’t reach the middle and got as much as you can off? My suv is small and I’m only 5’. Even standing in my car door and full reach I can’t get the middle. I ended up going around my block and stopping suddenly so it wild fall forward and then clean from my windshield but I could just feel everyone giving me guff.
