No problems at the DMV yesterday. I brought all the necessary forms and pieces of ID, unlike several of the people in front of us in line (hint - if it says that you will need your SSN to get a license, bring it with you, then you won't have to go home to get it!). In fact, apart from having to wait about 45 minutes (not bad for the DMV actually), the hardest part was getting the adhesive from the Texas registration sticker off of the windshield in preparation for the NY sticker. Huh. I went and got the car inspected this morning, so we are all set (apart from the actual licenses that will take 10-12 days to arrive in the mail. We only have little paper slips for now).
I also went and obtained my new library card this morning. Whee. For a small town, the library is quite nice - a fairly new building, and a nice selection of books. It didn't have some of the more "literary" books I was looking for, but that isn't surprising. I usually had to get that kind of thing from the UT library anyway. Maybe I can convince Benjamin to check some things out at Brockport.
Speaking of Benjamin, he signed us up for the faculty gym membership, so we are going to play racquetball this afternoon. We checked out the courts one day when we were wandering the campus - they aren't as nice as the courts at UT, but I bet most schools don't have gyms as fancy as that. Here, they are in the basement, kind of like dungeons, and they have the little tiny hobbit-sized doors. If you hit a ball out of the court, you are out of luck, because you have to go up the elevator or a hidden flight of steps...There may be other courts in a different building somewhere - you can bet we will try to find them! But at least there are racquetball courts to go to.
After last our far-ranging adventures last weekend, we plan to stay close to home this weekend. There is some sort of town fall festival on Saturday, so we will probably walk to that. Maybe another bike ride on Sunday?
