In Rhode Island there are long lines and waits unless you show up
before opening time and join the line of people waiting to get into
the building.  But about half an hour before closing their efficiency
suddenly increases to an amazing extent.  People pop out of the
woodwork, get people off the benches and line them up and do prelim
stuff right out on the floor.  And the line practically zooms.  It's amazing.
