Suckers!

Today marks an important anniversary - 6 months since I first landed in Christchurch. No deportation, no jail time, no enraged mobs of locals with torches and pitchforks. I believe this is the longest a Binder has ever inhabited any South Pacific island starting with the letter 'N'.

To celebrate my accomplishment, the New Zealand government saw fit to award me with a driver license - that's right, I am now legitimate. No more trouble from bar bouncers! And in the spirit of celebration, no comments from the peanut gallery on the photo either!

Just a heads-up: daylight savings time begins on Sunday (that's Saturday for you kids) which means I will be one hour even more in the future than you (i.e. 20 hours ahead of Seattle, 17 hours ahead of the East Coast).

Shane,
Your license had the wrong photo on it...I have corrected the error:
