ID

I lost my wallet the other day.  I couldn't find my passport and had no way to prove who I was.  It got me thinking how screwed you are if you lose all your picture IDs.  You can't cash checks, get a driver's liscense, library card or do anything that requires photo proof of who you are;  it's like you don't exist.  Fortunately, I found my passport.  I went straight to the DMV and got my drivers liscense and an extra identification card for the bargain price of $5.  I have now put it in a safe place (not in my purse!).  My new wallet is strangely empty, just the basics:   DL, debit card, insurance card and on occasion, cash.  I miss my old wallet.  I lost a picture of my late father that cannot be replaced and various business cards and numbers that I have to track down now.  I guess the lesson in this is don't carry your life in your wallet.  You never know what you might lose.  Now go out and enjoy this gorgeous weather!
