do you have to have an enhanced drivers license to fly

Reddit threads abound. There are jokes about 'finally getting down to the weight on my driver's license.' Colloquially, it is said that Americans underreport how much we weigh, but we overreport how tall we are. If you look up 'driver's license' and 'weight' online, the results will come in waves. I was going to get back there in the very near future. I came really close within the past 10 years. I was married to that number on the old driver's license. Yup, I added the weight equivalent of a good-sized infant over the years, but that was just baby fat. I did what your average red-blooded American would do: I kept on lying to myself. This is how some Southerners acknowledge the behavior of the pitiful without completely destroying their feelings. I wasn't the first member of the lying pack of liars with our ostrich necks of denial sauntering up to her, clearly taller and thinner and more beautiful than the last.īeing from the South, the obesity capital of America, I imagined the nice DMV lady looking at me, looking down at my license and back at me holding back a full grin. 'Bless his heart,' she would mumble. The nice lady sitting behind the BMV counter in Milford didn't ask me to adjust this grossly understated estimate in 2015.

Which brings me to the element that has disappeared: 'Weight.' I continued to perpetuate a lie at the last renewal, four years ago. What happened to my eyebrows? My face seems larger. There you are, staring right back at yourself, marking time. There is less of my hair, and what's left is becoming silver. This was my fourth license renewal. Driver's licenses are like mirrors.
