The information on my driver’s license dates back to 1999. Back then I admitted to weighing 335 pounds.
Four years later I chose to renew by mail, sparing myself the ordeal of going to the impossibly cramped and crowded facility at the old Georgia State Patrol post in Newnan. That post has been replaced, and the driver’s license office is elsewhere entirely. And I have my 2007 renewal notice awaiting action. But I wouldn’t be renewing this one by mail even if the license office had not been greatly expanded and upgraded.
Because I’m looking forward to claiming a 100-pound weight loss on the new one.
The picture, I don’t have such high hopes. It’ll be an improvement on the one currently afflicting my license, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to run right out and get a passport picture.
