     Last year I reserved a car from Enterprise for my summer road trip.   
     I use one place about a mile from from my apartment and when I got there   
   it was closed, due to Covid.   
     Went to another one about a mile or some there in the other direction and   
   they had nothing in their system for the car.   
     These are all tied together by computer and should have been pulled up on   
   any computer.  In '19 when I had car trouble where ever I was that place had   
   the information on hand.   
     We had four Enterprise places here, down to three now since that one   
   place is still closed and may not re-open, since it was the smaller of the   
   four.

     No one in government moves any faster than they absolutely have to.

      When I sold cars a couple of lifetimes ago (1976-78) it was just filling   
   out a form for a new temp tag, or a renewed one for some reason.   
     But I saw cars with months old expired plates all the time when in   
   parking.  Cops around here seldom stop anyone for that.  It was more a   
   secondary   
   offence.
