Almost forgot to renew my terrific blue book they issue me, free with my paid up "Please kind sir/madam, may I register my medical?" fees.

Superstore closed their portrait studios. Ok, Google should help me. Find a bunch of other passport photo places closed.

Off to London drugs, $11 + change + tax.  :)

Looks like I need to change the title. To reflect phoning TC and finding out "Sorry, we don't do any pilot licensing in Calgary anymore. You'll have to go through Winnipeg."

Uh, thank you?

So now I'm trying to revive the laptop after the kids closed it during an update. Hope I can print the application form before it fully expires.

I don't think I can generate the volume needed to compete with London Drugs guaranteed $12.59 passport photos.

Why make it easy for me to find the address to send this think? That would ruin the game wouldn't it? Here's a picture if you're from prairie region.

Probably need a liquor license to really be able to compete.

Maybe I could charge a premium and include the form if I had a laptop and printer ready. Or a couple of stacks of printed blank forms with options to choose from in the drop down menus.

If the post office goes back to work maybe include a pre-addressed stamped envelope.

So of course I ended up touching the border with my signature on the first form, did not realize I needed to select a drop down option on the second, finally realizing I could type on the third.  :-\
