That’s to remind everyone that you get free sex on your birthday.
Based on that description, you likely have hazel eyes.
Thx. I wonder (very mildly - don’t REALLY care) when they moved from badges to something with ostensibly personally identifying characteristics - hair/eye color, sex, etc. (I just read a book on infrastructure which described how surprisingly late (to me, at least) it was before conventions such as consistent street striping, highway numbers, etc. were adopted.) My intended point was that it probably wasn’t all that much longer of a time that drivers licenses HAD such info - maybe 60-ish years? - compared to the time since they’ve had photos - likely 40-ish+ years.
I think this will work (https://archive.nytimes.com/screenshots/www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/03/17/nyregion/17licenses-evolution.jpg)
but just in case , it seems the description and photo were both part of the switch from badges to paper licenses in 1910
That book sounds interesting
The Road Taken, by Henry Petroski. An engineer, writes very clearly about things I find interesting. I REALLY enjoyed his books The Pencil (more than you could imagine possible about the title) and The Evolution of Useful Things (basically what the title says. How we came up with things like the wheelbarrow, paperclip…).
Everything he has written is not classic, but if you are looking for something to read, you might do well to remember his name.
California started requiring photos on drivers licenses in 1958.
