I got my new California driver’s license in the mail today. I already shared my story of my visit to the DMV. It turned out that the license did arrive before my birthday so in hindsight, I didn’t need the temporary license.
If you look at yourself daily in the mirror, you don’t notice gradual changes in your appearance. Then one day, you look closely at your reflection and wonder when everything changed. The photo on my current driver’s license was taken about five years ago. You can see that I’ve lost a lot of weight by looking at the two photos side by side. My face was pretty much round in the old photo; now, not so much. I guess that happens when you lose 50 pounds. It was also before my kidneys failed and dialysis so it was a better time even though I was fatter.
Let’s hope I have the opportunity to use the Real ID part of my driver’s license for boarding aircrafts.
