Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Those ballpoint pen drawings are unbelievable.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Random question: we found a driver's license in our front yard this morning -- what should we do? It doesn't expire until 2016. Ohio's licenses have the person's address on them, so we could put it in the mail, BUT that assumes that (1) the person hasn't moved and (2) it's not a fake.

Any ideas? We might wait until Monday and call the Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

How did someone's driver's license get in your front yard, anyway? Someone trespassing and emptying his wallet on the way across your lawn? Normally I'd just mail a lost license back, but that's odd enough I might wait and call.

How did someone's driver's license get in your front yard, anyway?

In my neighborhood, it's best not to ask. Probably someone stumbling around drunk and stuff fell out of his pockets when he was digging for keys or a smoke.

Now that I bothered to google it, the answers are coming back as: (1) take it to the police or (2) take it to the BMV.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'd put it in the mail. If the person has moved, hopefully they've filled out a change of address with the post office. And whether it's fake doesn't seem like it should be your concern.

I don't want to encourage crime, though!

...is that naive?

Our wings are not tired.

If the address is near you I'd drop it at either the police station or the DMV (whichever more convenient), if it is further away I would mail it. Only because I have lost my license and it is a pain to get it replaced.

Do you have reason to suspect it's fake? I'm assuming that the odds that you would be returning a legit license to its proper owner are higher than that you would be encouraging crime, using that letting x guilty go free rather than imprisoning y innocent principle, you know?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I've gotten previous residents' DL in the mail, because CA doesn't issue updated licenses. Does OH?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Taking a break though because I just shocked myself changing out a light fixture... The arm tingles a bit, so I am taking a break. maybe wine.

Do you have any sports drinks? Something with electrolytes?
