the GOT bike

On April first, I went on the fool's errand of converting my Connecticut driver's license to one issued by my new state of Massachusetts. Yes, I know law requires this conversion much sooner to the conversion of residency, but in light of the fact that I don't actually drive and the license is primarily a form of identification, the switch seemed of less legal importance. Did I debate giving up a driver's license? Yes, very, very briefly, as in, "Hmm, no." I live in a world redesigned for automobile transport, and while I may resist that as best I can, it doesn't make sense to give up the PERMISSION the license grants me. It was a much longer debate to keep the motorcycle endorsement, along with Massachusetts' $15 surcharge to check that box, but again, I decided against ceding a permission. Fool's errand, my first foolish mistake was to assume that a CT Real ID would convert to a MA Real ID, which I still think was really a reasonable assumption,
