I renewed my driver's license today. The last time or two I was able to renew by mail and they kept using the same old picture from 1993. You'd think that wouldn't fly, but at the resolution they use, it's accurate enough. This time I had to take the eye test and get a new picture. This photo came out pretty cute except for the color. They seriously need to adjust the hue calibration on their camera. In the image I just about look like myself, except for a touch of pink and white raccoon to my look. My face came up really red, but the skin around my eyes came up really white. Oh well. I guess I can live with it till 2012. I wonder if they'll want to use the same picture till 2027.
(We have some really impressive lightning outside right now. The satellite signal is gone and the DSL is on the fritz. So much for high tech entertainment. At least we still have our DVDs and books.)
