Overweight

[Pete Masterson]

John,

I think you're on to something there. As my 'bird is over 40', I'm
required to have (at least) a "non-commercial class B" license (in
California and many other states). For whatever reason, this license
category is apparently really rare. The clerks and the drive test
examiner hardly knew what to do with me. Eventually everything was
figured out, the papers were signed, I was tested, and given my
license. I had a feeling that they crew hadn't seen one of these
before -- or not in a long time. This was at one of the _few_ CA DMV
offices that do "commercial" tests.
