Today I attempted to apply for my passport. I thought I was doing well because I only had to go to two offices in City Hall before finding the right desk, and there was no line! Then the nice clerk asked me if I had checks with me. Who has checks with them? She empathized but said that the form goes through the good old USPS and credit cards do not exist. She suggested going across the street to the Thomson Center (the atrium that forgot its building) and buy a couple money orders, but I decided to just venture downtown again tomorrow.
I am not planning on going anywhere soon, but I might visit Jos in Germany later this year. And tickets to London are about as cheap as tickets to Dulles, so I could just jet over for a long weekend. Maybe I will spend Independence Day taunting the English!
