"Gone loose inside its shell"

Now I can drive in peace...We moved to Anderson in early June 2008...I waited the first nine months to confirm what our permanent address would be. There's just no excuse for the sixteen months after that. Having to take the written test scared me away, I guess. But today I conquered that fear, passed that test only missing one question and have a temporary Indiana driver's license in my wallet right now. The permanent is on its way in the next 10 days. For the last year, I've been concerned that I might be pulled over sometime, get issued a ticket for whatever reason I was pulled over (or not), but then get hammered for not updating my driver's license to Indiana. I've heard that could be a stiff penalty. And a full 9 months before my other license would have expired anyway!
