Kill Me, Now

After a two-hour wait at the Tennessee Department of Safety, I discover I cannot reinstate my driver's license because I cannot provide proof of citizenship. That's right -- it's entirely possible that I have become a non-citizen in the intervening years between moving here from Kentucky, y'know.

The grand adventure's cost so far? $1464 (counting lost wages).

Ordering duplicate birth certificate online, now. Dammit, Jim.

You have no proof of citizenship? I'm trusting you less and less.

chez béz -- Mom's got the birth certificate. I have a duplicate, but it would likely take me longer to locate it than to simply order another (putting the total for this entire goatscrew, thusfar, @ $1499.50).

If only I could have had a warrant issued for my arrest, I might have gotten out of all this without paying a dime.

Canada will take you, JP, if you need a decent country to live in

Plum Pudding -- No, they won't. I have no degree!
