also, i've been told by the california dmv that i'll be required to take the written driving test when i go in to switch to a california license, and that i could find the driver's handbook online to study from.

back in high school driver's ed, the booklet was like 8.5" by 5", and it was maybe 40 pages long or something.

i mean, that was ten years ago, and maybe inflation had something to do with it... but that the booklet (the online one, anyways) has ballooned to eighty-eight 8.5" x 11" pages is ridiculous.
