Doesnt it usually happen during the summer? I remember I always have trouble renewing my license. They just tell me to drive with my lapsed license and paperwork showing I have paid for a renewal.

They can happen anytime. It's just whenever the government finishes spending their last appropriation.

They haven't had a shutdown for a few years. I don't recall how long the last one was.
