My Plastic Identity
07-13-07, 3:37 PM

Lost my wallet, lost my identity. I am nobody now... no driver's license, no credit card, no blood donor cards, no grocery store discount card, no library card or even a video card (oh crap! need to contact them too!) It's amazing how my well-being and identity is determined by a few pieces of plastic.

Thursday, I had to take the day off to notify the various companies and take a driver's written exam with the actual driving test to be performed on Monday.

I suppose back in the cowboy days, the only identity I would have required was a gun and knowing how to use it. Horses do not require a license. Oddly in Wednesday's newspaper, an news article described how locals could adopt a horse or burro. I wonder how the Home Owners Association would respond to my keeping a donkey in the yard? If I could only find a midget to hold a rope to the animal's nose and trained them to hold still, then I could say they were lawn ornaments.
