Well, a SS wouldn't necessarily prove citzenship, but it would prove you were here legally, which is (I assume) what they care about.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

Right, you don't have to be a citizen to get a drivers license, just a legal resident.

Trudy, I think you'll find doing two 10-hour days the easiest.
Driving 11 1/2 hours back from North Carolina wasn't bad at all, although my circumstances were different in that I had another person with me.
Still, I recommend books on tape/CD. Makes the time go SO MUCH FASTER.

By all means! I don't remember what radio station coverage was like on the east coast, but driving in the western states I needed something because I'm not a huge C/W fan and sometimes that's all I could find. Or Rush Limbaugh. ::gag::

I think that's stupidly true for everyone born in PR, right?
Yeah, everyone born after a certain date. (Not sure what the cutoff is.)
I'm gonna pimp Audible for audiobooks without having to carry around a bunch of CDs. Most rental cars these days will have an aux-in jack for your iPod, and if you're the only one in the car with opposable thumbs you don't want to be switching out CDs.
Libraries also have downloadable audiobooks for free.
Right, you don't have to be a citizen to get a drivers license, just a legal resident.
And a passport proves both. If anything, it's overkill.

(Though in all honestly, I *love* listening to crappy C/W stations when driving through the middle of nowhere. It's a total guilty pleasure.)

Also, if you haven't done audiobooks while driving before, I highly recommend getting a book you enjoy that you've already read. Otherwise, I find them distracting, especially when not used to driving while listening.

I wonder if the proportion of non-citizens with driving jobs is higher in NYS....
Than in Texas? I'm not sure.
The whole needing a SS card has made us think about whether or not I really want to legally change my name to Jon's. I was hanging on to Morgan on my SS card for that reason.

Because books.
DJ, I have Morgan relatives! In WV, not Texas or LA, but still.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
The only reason I ever even used hub's last name was because I was in college at the time and the registration line is shorter if you're a B than if you're an M.
I am rolling my eyes at my 21 yr. old self.
