Another 4 years of driving...

Well, the good state of Idaho saw fit for me to drive

for another 4 years... and this time I have actually a

decent picture on my new temporary license.

They use to make up the plastic license right away,

but don't know what happen to that.  Because now

we get paper one, with our picture on it, that is good for

30 days, and the new one is suppose to show up

within that time limit.. Hopefully the post office

doesn't screw that up.. but that is a story for another

day.

A 4 year cost $30 and an 8 year cost $55.  I can

remember when an 8 year cost $25 or $28.  but

I guess that isn't too bad.. just a little over $7 a year.

See in Idaho when you are over 63 ...you no longer

can get an 8 year.  And because I didn't have any

tickets in the past 3 years, I didn't have to take

a driver's test. At least that is the rumor.

I seem to get a speeding ticket every 20 years.

Last one was about 4 years ago.  And the last

two (one in 1980 something) and 4 years ago

was add insult to injury, the King was around.

The one in 1980, I was along side the road

getting my ticket, when he drove by laughing

at me.. and the last one, he was with me.  And

I was driving because he wanted to gawk around

at the farmer's fields and etc..  I had a slight case

of road rage, as this guy would pass me.. and then

slow down to 20 mph in a 45 mph area.. so the

second time around, I fly around him and down

the road, into the arms of a state trooper, to the

cost of $80.  Much to the enjoyment of the King.

So I guess I should be grateful, that the good

state of Idaho entrusted me for 4 more years.
