Oh No! Take it easy, Sheryl. You may have been shaken up more than you realize.

So a lot of inappropriately young models, then?

Does it make it more/less inappropriate if the artist is even younger?

Shortly after that one of the kids mentioned da Vinci, so I suspect the kids are smarter, or at least more well-versed on this topic, than the adult in question. We'll see how that plays out over the next six weeks.

Oh, Sheryl! I'm glad you're (mostly) okay.

oh no wrecks are bad.

Oh no, Sheryl!

I mean, DiCaprio has done the thing where he keeps getting older, but the girls stay the same age....

I have a passport! The world is mine!

Canada probably, I've wanted to go back to Quebec for decades. Or maybe visit Elena in her country.

I've seen lots of faked passports in various situations, and on the face of it, this looks like just one more. But it's the real deal, with my picture and information and the key to most of the borders of the world. Possibly the most significant identification document in the country. The sense of freedom I feel with this in my hands is amazing. If things go drastically wrong, I can point my car north and be across the border in a few hours. That might be overdramatic (please), but there's a real potential problem in that Utah's drivers licenses won't meet revised standards for travel identification in a couple of years. Not a problem, you'd think, but a few years ago Utah passed an actual law against making further changes to drivers licenses in the name of national identification. The Utah legislature is big on message bills that go Neener Neener.

So Utah has a couple of years to work out how to revise the drivers licenses in the least chaotic and expensive method and work out whether to pass a quick resolution over-riding that law or having to actually repeal it. And, of course, dealing with the whack-a-moles out in the boonies who will shriek that they shouldn't have to be beholden to the Feds and they're Sovereign Citizens and all that.

But I have a passport, so my drivers license only has to give me the right to drive, not be my ID.

Is that really you, Connie? Ah yes, I see it is! I like having mine too, although I haven't done anything exciting with it.

So my team member with the back issue yesterday was sent home with a recommendation for ibuprofen and a heating pad. Turns out, I am jealous of her apparent lack of period cramps, because she didn't have either thing in the house!

The gym had hot water today, to everyone in my vicinity's relief I am sure.

Ha! Took me a minute to figure out what "A dinkens Victorian CHristmas" might mean. Good Place extension, still amusing.

Good Place extension, still amusing.

It is!

I'm still scheduled for 4PM to start recount stuff, but they still don't know if they will be ready because of the machine issues. They also want us to bring our cell phones with the reporting app loaded because they can't be sure we will have internet access and may have to use cell data. I'm impressed with the recount team's efforts to anticipate and cover a variety of contingencies.
