It was a passport photo for one of those new Passcards - a passport card that can be used to cross the border (land only) into Mexico and/or Canada.
It's a really cool, official looking card that I probably won't ever need, but I liked it, and it was only $20 (with a valid passport). Well, plus the cost of the photo.
But it's cool and it can be used as id, just like a passport.
So, for instance, the next time you write a check, or try to buy cigarettes or wine or whatever, you can show your smart new, really official-looking federal id card, rather than the usual, expected, over-used, dare I say cliched? driver's license.
Fancy.
But when I accidentally catch a glimpse of myself these days, it's startling. I'm just not as attractive as I was 20 years ago.
Or even ten.
I guess it's time to start developing a good personality.
Just when you would think that technology has done it again, you discover you can't rely on it with your eyes closed. When I tried to enter mexico for a visit, this new passport has gave me alot of trouble and ruined my entire day. I'm glad you like it though! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, I haven't actually used it yet, except as id for getting cash at my bank. Hope you weren't detained for long!
