Assimilation - I am almost completely 'da ho'

In April, my car's registration tags expired, and I died a little inside when I switch my license plates from California to Idaho.

It meant I was becoming more and more like them...

Now, I have transitioned a little more into becoming a full-fledged Idahoan:  I now have an Idaho driver's license.

Technically my California one didn't expire until 2015, but apparently you're supposed to get a new one when you become a resident of a different state.

...within the first 60 days... and I moved here in 2010...

Oops, my bad.

Well, I have it now, so if I get pulled over I'm safe.  Oddly enough, my timing was perfect.  They used to print the licenses at the actual DMV, and you'd have your new plastic in minutes.  In late 2011, Idaho went to a 'new, safer' form of ID and it ended up being mailed to me after 2 weeks.

The old ones looked like the fake ID I had back in High School.  It was pretty pitiful.

So, to be a good sport about the whole thing, I thought I'd post my DL picture here.  License pictures are never pretty, and this is no exception. The camera adds 10lb, and I think they had 4 or 5 pointed at me...

And this picture reminds me why I wear glasses instead of contacts...

With my car and my DL being Idaho now, the only think keeping me recognizable as a former Californian is my phone.  I'm still sporting a 909 area code, and I don't plan on changing that anytime soon...
