And that’s old-school magical, which means all that stuff that occultists got into before the Victorians showed up and romanticized the whole thing into oblivion*.

Yeah, there’s a book in that. Anyway: depending on who you ask, I either need to get my license renewed, or I don’t. What? Oh, my, yes, I just love having to face that particular conundrum. Trying to work out what the MVA actually meant is everything that I have ever dreamed of, and more. Why, isn’t the same true for you as well?

Yeah, when I renewed my drivers license in Georgia, they made me take my glasses off for the license photo. Apparently this is for facial recognition purposes.
Just wait until they ask you to fetch them a shrubbery before they will renew your DL.
