I got my motorcycle permit!

I went down to the DMV office at 8:30 AM this morning, answered 20 questions about railroad crossing signs, blood alcohol content, and glare on wet pavement, and came back with a flimsy piece of paper that means I have a new expensive hobby! I signed up for Motorcycle Safety School, and have been trying to determine if my head is oval (which, according to Kate, would make me a Shoei person,) or round (which would make me an Arai person.)

I really like the Arai helmets (that’s one on the right); they’re very, uh, Super Nintendo.
