Um, no

When I went to move my car tonight, I was unpleasantly surprised by the presence of the evil orange envelope. But my car was parked legally, not in a permit spot. Apparently, the City of Chicago wants to charge me $50 for having "expired plates".

I have 2 problems with this. #1. Just because I still haven't received my stickers in the mail, because Chicago is THE WORST in the country for mail delivery, doesn't mean my registration has expired. #2. These are VIRGINIA plates. You don't get to collect money for me not paying money to ANOTHER STATE. I am rather offended by the City trying to overstep its jurisdiction and try to make some cash. Because if I am going to pay a penalty for not having stickers, I'm not giving my money to Illinois, since they have nothing to do with it! Turd muffins.

It also raises the larger issue of where the hell my renewal is? Probably stuck in the damn mail limbo. Ugh.

on iTunes: stereo lab. (I'm trying to figure titles, which is tricky, since the songs are all in French & German.)
