Kathy and I are now officially Colorado residents. We got Colorado driver's licenses yesterday. Kathy had an easier time than I did. Her old driver's license had her middle name on it. Mine didn't which meant I had to produce a passport or a birth certificate to get my license. Since I don't carry either, it meant a trip home and back. By the time I went home, got both my passport and birth certificate, a nasty thunder storm had gone through the Denver Metro area. When I got back to the license office, the computer system was down-statewide-so I took a chair and waited. This time I took a book to read and the system came back up in about 20 minutes. The lady whom I had worked with earlier took me first and I was out a few minutes later. Licenses cost $6 more in Colorado and I still had three and a half years left on my Wyoming license which had a picture I liked. We were also able to register to vote at the same time.
We found the people at the state and county offices where we got license plates and driver's licenses to be very friendly and accommodating dispelling a myth. Now if the Post Office could take some lessons from these folks, people might be inclined to use the USPS when there is an option.
