that was the year i was biking to work to get in shape.

so when i showed up to the lab after a 3 mile bike ride. my associate ran up to me and told me. i was sweating and got some water and we looked at it at work.

they sent everyone at the lab home by noon.

those were the slow computer days so we watched for a couple hours on a shared computer.

friends came over that night and we laughed very hard about the whole passport crap.

i was already a 'conspiracy' guy. but it woke up some of them.
