Today I had an appointment to get my new military ID card. As I'm getting ready to turn 65 (sucks!) our Medical insurance changes from TRICARE (military) to MEDICARE with TRICARE backup. So I showed up for my appointment, waited 1.5 hours, and finally got to see an "ID card specialist". After a brief (30 sec) interview during which I had to produce two picture IDs, I was told I also needed my Medicare Card. Well the Medicare card was mailed to me on 18 Nov 17, we left the house on 1 Nov 17. Bottom line is without my Medicare Card (which is a piece of paper) I could not get a new Military ID! I even had a pic of the card that my neighbor had sent me. So my wonderful neighbor will send me the card and I'll have to get a new appointment while we are in Birmingham. Gotta say I love the bureaucracy (not).
OK...sorry about the rant.
It has actually been a nice day. Our friends came over for a Schnitzel dinner at the camper. We had a great time and probably had a few to many beers along with the campfire.
State of the Union address and then off to bed.
