Actually, that's 63 ½ years with a driving license in my pocket.

Coupla days ago, I was en route to my rental house, when I encountered a
NC Highway Patrol license check point just down a hill and around a curve
from a chicken processing plant. Immediately upon seeing the flashing
lights and the officers in the road, I pulled out my wallet and had my
"license" ready as I pulled up to the tall, slim and nice-looking young
black man in his immaculate uniform. As I reached toward him with the
card, and as he was reaching for it, I realized that I was handing him my
military ID card instead of my license. I suddenly laughed as I was
pulling it back to retrieve the right card and said, "Oh, I pulled out the
wrong card." He also chuckled and said as he waved me on, "Oh, you're
alright, go ahead."
By the way, that's the sixth time in about 2 months that I encountered
such check points somewhere in the area of that processing plant, but I
had never seen that officer before.
If you're wondering why I would pull out my military ID at such a check
point, it's 'cause that's what I hafta do when entering the local (or any)
Air Force or military base - so, force of habit. 'Have had to show my
license only very rarely in 62 years of having one. 'Have shown it more
in the last 2 months out near that chicken plant than I have in many
years.
