Don't Fence me in

After some 6 months, today I finally broke down and got a haircut.  'Twas getting kind of overgrown and later in the day I stopped by the MVD and made preparations to get my traveling ID, and i did not wish to look homeless for my ID.

I do not wish to be trapped and not able to make my egress by airplane, should things get hairy. That's why I took steps to get a traveling ID. I shall still hang on to my old ID. The new ID cost me $50 and is only good for 8 years. My old ID has neither drawback, but I couldn't travel without the new ID.  Hobson's choices.
