New drivers' license, little else

I put reminders of everything on my Google calendar, so I don't come up short in the remembering department. March first announced (and still does), New Drivers' License in March. Eleven days into the month I have done little more than think about where everything is to get my Real ID.

Today is the day, I announced to no one on the house, and rounded up my passport, my social security card, a bank statement, and after a good breakfast, set out for the DMV. Sadly, all my ID had my old unit number for the same address. Only my bank statement was correct. Back home to get a utility bill to second the address on the bank statement.

Back at the DMV, I held the door for a very frail looking old woman wielding a four pronged cane, and we commenced a very slow march into the building. Eventually she stopped and motioned me to go ahead. "I'm the slowest in the line," she said. I turned her down, and did tell her it was a pleasure to give up my "slowest one here" line.

I'm very unhappy with my picture. It's the best one I've ever had, except I had to remove my glasses, and it does not look like me at all.

How about Joe Biden? I take it as a sure sign this coalition is about to stop messing about with what might have been and get on with electing a president. I think he will reach into the pool of might have beens for vice president, and I wonder who it will be? I can venture a pool of possibilities, but can't even make a guess.

There was a new recipe to try for supper, Mac and Cheese with Cauliflower. It's basically every day mac and cheese in a slow cooker, with cauliflower flowerettes broken in. I measured out 12 ounces of macaroni, added a frozen tub of shredded sharp cheddar, two pints of half and half, and half a head of cauliflower skulking in the fridge.

I stired it after a couple of hours, per directions, and was not impressed. The macaroni had almost cooked, but the cauliflower had not. I added some salt and pepper and went off for a half an hour. When I stirred it the last time, I wondered what on earth were all those marshmallows bobbing in the mac and cheese.

They were the cauliflowers! And, it was good! One leftover container in the fridge, one in the freezer.

And here is my one pot of three bulbs. There are more, but these are biggest. I packed one pot with paper narcissus. Apparently not this pot, and the other two have not made a stir.
