Nice! I'm still waiting on my first of the year but they're coming. Congrats!

We're not sure either, except the Missouri Dept of Revenue (driver's license agency) is requiring it for the Real ID. She didn't retake her maiden name; our marriage license shows her maiden name, which matches the birth certificate. We have a handle on things, but it's too complicated to be fair.

I'm glad your health has improved. It can be disconcerting to see old photos of a you that might no longer be recognizable, but sounds like you were prepared for the TSA.

It's just "stuff," but magnified as she accidentally let her passport expire. Found one of her old passports the other day. She was a non-military civilian living in Kuwait in the late 90s. The stamps make her look like Carrie Mathison from Homeland, but that was a lifetime ago.

My wife is going through this right now. We're having to chase down a certified copy of her first marriage license in order to get her Real ID. We have certified birth certificate (now), and certified divorce decree, but need that license. 🙄😏

Those are all great albums. The new Nada Surf hits all the good notes for me.

So very good! I remember seeing the video on MTV's 120 Minutes here in the States and buying the album soon after. Combining members of two great groups? I was definitely in for that!

That's great. We had a mom who raised three broods last year. The male was lost early after eggs were laid for the first brood who battled the worst weather, but I made sure she had mealworms, and miraculously all five young fledged successfully.

That era was just sublime. Buying records like crazy and absorbing every bit of the covers, credits, and sounds was a religious experience. Albums like this have stood the test of time.

While the releases after Whirlpool weren't quite as consistently strong IMO, 'She's a Vision' is one that held its own. Still love this track!

It's so absurd it's comical, yet here we are. The ass kissing has been out of control.

Interesting. Tell me amore.

Is anyone left to issue a new one?

Seriously, this winter has been interminable. -9°F in Kansas City this morning. Two straight days of record low high temperatures and a new record low this morning. The cold is no longer interesting.

It's our first false spring in KC. Over 60°F yesterday. Nearly there today. Tomorrow 37°. Ugh!

It always looks like the females are going to drown. I know some waterfowl mating is more aggressive than that, but the first time you witness it in person it can be shocking.

I'm guessing @lloydcole.bsky.social would appreciate this.
