As I progress into my third decade, I find myself more interested in things civic: The local DOT with its scheduling of city road construction. The downtown area and the exciting projects taking off to bring development to our city. The damn trains shutting down major intersections during rush hour. It's probably a good thing younger folks don't get as involved. It's only been just recently, and begrudgingly, that I conceded trains provide a needed economic service and thus I should...

Good Luck Fargo, I'm Legal Now I was standing in the line at the dmv and this lady came in, an older lady, stood there for only 30 seconds before twitching and huffing and puffing with impatience.
