I really, really think that state driver's licenses should be reciprocal and honored in all states, regardless of residence. When my daughter moved from Texas to Tennessee it took three trips to the DMV there, each time being sent home to obtain yet more documentation, despite the fact that she still had a valid TX license in her hands. It was maddening. I sympathize with your choice to run illegal! :-)Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-88580261718270378202013-11-02T15:03:46.991-04:002013-11-02T15:03:46.991-04:00This story reminds me a bit of when my ex-husband ...This story reminds me a bit of when my ex-husband crossed the border from Canada back into the U.S. He had just dropped me off at the airport in Toronto where I took a flight to Germany. We had taken some sandwiches and snacks in the car, which were all consumed during the drive from Buffalo to Toronto. Except for one banana, which lay on the passenger seat.<br /><br />Customs official: "What is that on the front seat?"<br /><br />Ex-husband: "A banana."<br /><br />Customs official: "You cannot import fruit into the U.S."<br /><br />Ex-husband: "I brought it with me from the U.S. when I drove to Toronto."<br /><br />Customs official: "You cannot import fruit into the U.S."<br /><br />Ex-husband: Peels and eats banana, says: "Now I can."<br /><br />Customs official: Waves.

When confronted with, "You can't park there!" I'm especially fond of saying, "But I just did."<br />That's my only witty retort.<br /><br />Surprisingly, when I had to get my driver's license after moving back home, the lady (I was going to say "young lady", but thought better of it) was curiously pleasant. <br />No, really. <br />It was quite disarming.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03523653271715366168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-46999052305196801612013-10-31T16:14:57.660-04:002013-10-31T16:14:57.660-04:00A little authority goes too far.
