Papers, Please

I applied for a new passport today. My old one expired in June of 1994, but one doesn't want to rush into these things. I had forgotten to come prepared with a few data, particularly the towns where my parents were born; but as I had an old passport, that information was apparently "already in the system".

I'm not planning on going anywhere overseas soon, but you now need either a passport or a passport card to get into Canada. Which means it's no longer the longest undefended border in the world: If you try to cross without a passport, an agent of the government will use violence to stop you, ergo it is a defended border.

1 We got the Passport cards last year, and it worked great for Chris's trip accross the border last week.
