The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

It's illegal for the homeless to have Real ID

I'm wondering how serious a problem this is going to be for the homeless. No one is allowed to have Real ID who is homeless, and without Real ID no one will be allowed on an aircraft, or into secure federal facilities. In addition, it may be that no one will be allowed onto buses without Real ID. So, how big an impact will this have on the ability of the homeless to survive, given that they are, permanently, barred from having Real ID, by federal law? How serious a problem is this likely to become for the homeless, over the coming years? Thoughts?
