Name one new thing you learned yesterday.
Describe what you learned
and how this experience made you feel…
`
I love this question! NCIS : New Orleans is one of my favorite TV series, and I get a kick out of Scott Bakula (Special Agent Dwayne Pride) when he tells his team to “Go! Learn things!” It’s a great character tag and one I subscribe to, especially on vacations! What’s the point of vacations if not to learn things??? (Image: Scott “Dwayne Pride” Bakula and Mark “Jethro Gibbs” Harmon.)
Be that as it may, I was doing a little background research for the upcoming A to Z Challenge and discovered that (for those of you who can remember BACK that far) Kris Harmon Nelson, Ricky Nelson’s wife, both on camera and off, is the 
sister of NCIS’s (another favorite of mine) Mark Harmon (Agent Jethro Gibbs). Now how’s THAT for learning something interesting? (I didn’t say it necessarily needed to be earth-shattering or useful! 😀 ) As I was reading about this I discovered there was a big family feud when the Nelson’s divorced involving a custody battle between Mark Harmon and Kris Nelson. I kind of went “Wow! And another great TV family from my childhood bites the dust.” It made me feel sad.

So what did YOU learn yesterday???

I learned that since I last renewed my drivers license the state has added two new drivers licenses for my ‘class’ of driver. I don’t know when it was instituted, but the plain old license which is now called the ‘standard’ license, will not allow a person with that particular license to enter federal buildings, go on domestic plane flights, and will be ineligible as ID to cross the border over to Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean. The other two licenses are called the “Enhanced” and the “REALID” licenses. What a strange new world we live in.

This is how the state I live in is doing it, at any rate. I think each state does it differently. Was talking with a friend of mine from IL, and she said their DMV can have a driver at renewal time have to take the written test over, or even the driver’s test. It’s at their discretion. It’s a weird world we live in.

I vaguely remember that. Pam Dawber grew up in the suburb just south of me. Papers used to make a big deal of it. My mother had a book with Ozzie Nelson’s signature in it. She had met him back in the 1940s. My sister said it was lost, but not sure I ever believed it.
Yesterday I learned that we call a dollar ‘a buck’ because a deer hide used to be worth one dollar.
Good luck on A to Z. I am skipping it this year.

So that’s where that expression came from. Cool! (I have almost everything lined up to start putting my posts together. Never been this ready before! LOL)
