Identity is a bitch. I was just about to apply for a new passport (my old one was lost in a move a while back) to travel to Vancouver BC next month, and discovered that sometime in the past few weeks I lost my drivers license. The last time I know I had it for sure was when I faxed a copy to Oregon to get a copy of my birth cirtificate for the passport application. Now it's gone. I never need it, so I'm not sure when or where it was lost. I'll ransack my room tonight, but I have a bad feeling that it's gone.

I can't get the passport without the drivers licence. To get a new drivers licence I need "six points" of identification, of which I have one. Apparently I am joining the ranks of uncodumented American citizens. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Actually, this is sort of serious. I cannot travel by airplane or drive a car without having my papers in order. One more reason to retire to the State of Jefferson.
