Happy Birthday Simon
In 1973 when I moved to California I changed my date of birth from July 12 to July 4. It was easy to do. When I went to get my California drivers license I put July 4, 1947 on the form and handed it to the clerk. For about thirty years I celebrated my birthday on July 4th. We often had a great party and most people believed that my birthday was July 4th. My best line was “It’s my birthday, why did you think July 4th is a holiday.”
This all changed when after 9/11/2001 security increased and I had to get it fixed. I was stopped driving across the border at Mexicali and my license didn’t match my passport. I was able to talk my way out of it but at the next opportunity I changed the date on my drivers license back to July 12th.
Now I am flexible. I’m so old that I barely celebrate my birthday and I’m happy with birthday wishes on either the 4th or the 12th. I hope they will keep coming for many years to come.
Happy Birthday Mine, as you know, is 9/11 and for years anytime anyone asked me when my birthday was I answered “Today”. Now every time some one in an office asks me What is your DOB? I answer “I have a famous one now, 9/11
According to the new Arizona abortion law- you are granted all the rights of a citizen when the fetus reached the legislature definition of “personhood”.. by their definition you and I are now several months older than our Birth Cert. states. So how does that affect immigration? If a Arizona couple goes to another country for the summer and conceives and that baby reached their definition of “personhood” before they return– Where was that baby born? are they US Citizens? Are they Dreamers?
This will be an interesting one for the Supreme Court because I dont think the constitution addresses the definition of DOB
