Have you gotten your passport yet?

You must have ze papers! The US Post Office, at least here in Las Cruces, is having a passport day on Saturday to help people get everything done. You'll have to have a passport if you leave the US to any point, including a cruise to the Bahamas or crossing the border to Mexico or Canada. Even if you're on a ferry, you might have to have a passport.

Incidentally, when presenting papers for new employment, you can use your passport instead of your driver's license and SSN card. Such fun!

Anyway, here's a link on passport info: http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html#faqs. Saturday isn't a deadline, but with the number of people applying for passports, they're encouraging people to get it done soon. But your passport will be required in January 2008!


Now to find out if the PO in Alamogordo is doing the same thing...


Oh, and since we're on the topic of passports, there's a library in Vermont that part of the library is in the US, part is in Canada. Looks like the Border Patrol might have to do a crack-down! We're planning on going to Maine later in the year, I wonder if we can swing up to Vermont for the day? Gotta remember to bring my GPS!

The Collage for Magic Rat's Memorial

Here's the collage that I made from the photos that I gathered for Magic Rat's memorial event. I know Deb and Bill will want to see it. For the rest of you, well, he was a pretty cool guy. I'm sorry you missed him.

The one for the memorial was printed on 20x30 glossy paper, it was pretty spif! In terms of explanations, the lower right pic was at a halloween party (as were many of them) and he want as Southpark's Chef. The one in his robes was his Judge Ito costume. And I'm in one of the pix, but unfortunately it's a little small.
