Sorry, Those of you who have seen Steve Martin in "The Jerk" will remember this line. Today as I walked from my apartment complex mailboxes with my brand spankin' new CHL license in hand, I wanted to shout "The new phonebooks are here! The new phonebooks are here!" But then I remembered what happen to Steve Martin in "The Jerk" right after he did that. A sniper started taking shots at him. So I kept it quiet as I walked back to my apartment with my envelope from the TX DPS in hand.
Now for my Wally Walk...
Whoohoo! 42 days from mailbox to mailbox

Mine was very 2nd amendment patriotic like.

I took my class the day after memorial day and my license was manufactured the day after the 4th of July.

I hold onto 'phone books, especially the 'real' Yellow Pages'. Many have notations of defunct/current contact mumbers, Technician, contact information, who-what-when-where, charges, and passable work or not.
The other directories get recycled. Some after getting wet and catchcing a few rounds.
