From Oregon DMV site: Acceptable Proofs of Age, Identity and Address An applicant who is homeless may use a descriptive address of the location where he/she actually resides, e.g., "under the west end of the Burnside Bridge". The applicant must also provide a mailing address. I suppose the same, "please, deliver all mail under the west end of the Burnside Bridge". In fact, I was impressed that homeless people are taken care of. :) There is a popular joke among linguists: "to ask a linguist how many languages he knows is like to ask a doctor how many diseases she has". In May I visited my girlfriend's mother in California. She doesn't speak any English. I already went to bed, while she was finishing her conversation with other inhabitants of the house. She came to our room later, groping her way in darkness. I said: "You can turn on the light, I am not sleeping." She said "Chto?" (What?) I thought that I said it too quietly, so she couldn't hear me, and repeated: "You can turn on the light, I am not sleeping." She said "Chto?" again, bended over me and gave me a strange look. Suddenly I realized that I was talking in English and started to laugh. I know her for almost 20 years, most of them in Russia. She would be the last person I would think to talk to in English, well, if I would think. There was something strangely familiar in her look. Later I remembered that my mother used to look at me with the same concern when I was a child, and she suspected that I was sick. |
