Passports

So my passport expires in January of next year, so time to start the renewal process. I don't know why passports aren't accepted when they have less than six months until their expiration, but there ya' go. So time to renew. 

I saw that you can do this online now. So I went and got a new photo and did the online process. It was pretty easy. They tell you to expect the process to take 6 weeks or so, but in LESS than one week after my payment cleared, I was notified that my application was successful, my new passport printed, and it is now in the mail to me! Less than one week! My wife said, "Yup. That's what happens when people go back in to work!"
