Inquiring Minds Want to Know:

1. Is the worthiness of the book directly proportional to the mess made while it's being written?

2. Why was my driver's license mailed from Utah?

3. Where should I "file" the thing that doesn't fit in the file cabinet, but which, nonetheless, does need to be filed, and in a place where I won't forget where the damn' thing is?

4. Why don't people understand that bookstores can't stock books that don't exist (i.e. "Why don't the bookstores stock Book X in paperback?")?

...and this is exactly what I have done.

Thank you!

Then you attach another note to the object on the top shelf of the cupboard in the study, reminding you to change the note in the folder if the object is forced to vacate its cupboard in search of a more salubrious and dust-free climate.

many states are now outsourcing the physical creation of drivers licenses to other states. colorado drivers licenses are created and mailed from seattle. your photo (either new or on file) and the information is sent by internet to the state doing the printing and is there created, laminated, and mailed to you at your home address.

i'm not overly pleased with this process. when i lost a drivers license while flying (take it out, put it back, take it out, stick it in a pocket, take it out, tuck it away somewhere) and had to replace it, colorado kept me in line for THREE HOURS and then gave me a piece of black and white xeroxed paper as my "interim" license and told me my picture id would take three weeks to be mailed from seattle. if i had not had a current passport to use as id, i could not have flown during that time.
