As proof that I'm busy doing all sorts of things and therefore cannot post, I'll take a moment to announce that today the fruit of some of my labor has been plucked. I am now the proud owner of a Swiss driver's license! It will be valid as soon as I pay the modest fee of 140 Francs . . .
As expected, my US license was returned to me undamanged but for the sticker "Not Valid in CH." Basel, have great fear, Janet is now free on the roads.

Basel will be fine. At least they drive on the right side of the road. :) Congratulations! I knew the 10 franc teaser was too good to be true.
Today I watched the cows come home. It was more exciting than it sounds: yodeling, dancing, alp horn accompanied flag tossing, and don't forget the cows dressed up in flowered headdresses and massive bells. No time to load the pictures (must play oboe in church tomorrow and I haven't touched it in more than three months) but I did add a photo of my Swiss license. Note that it doesn't have an expiration date!
And I, the paranoid webmaster, have temporarily removed it until we can discuss whether or not it is wise to have it online for all to see.
Grrr, I tried just to comment out the image so I could get it back easily, but the LifeType editor seems to have removed the html altogether. Is this a feature, Jon, or a bug? Or did I mess it up?
Ugh. You're probably right. Oh well.
Just seeing this now. What are you talking about?
I tried to edit the offending text by enclosing it in (oops, don't know if that will show up right), so that I could easily restore it if I wanted to, but the LifeType editor erased all but the -->. If I'd somehow made a mistake in typing, I would have expected it not to work, but not to have the text disappear altogether.
I don't mean just that it didn't show up on the website -- that's what I wanted -- but that it was also gone when I went back to edit it again, except, as I said, for the -->.
Well, it happened with the comment, too. What I enclosed in (let me try to fake it out) less-than-exclamation-point-two-dashes and two-dashes-greater-than disappeared, not only from the published text but from the original, so it's gone when I go back to edit the comment.
Only certain tags are allowed in comments, which is configurable in the administration.
Ah, thanks. I knew that, because I went in and allowed things like the mdash, which isn't part of the default. I'm just not (er, I mean "I'm not") html-savvy enough to realize those comment thingies were also tags. :(
