LOL!
My address doesn't match my driver's license since we don't have rural delivery.
We have Post Office box mail only.
We also have a 911 address, but it is not a mailing address.
People get unimaginably stupid about that, and single-mindedly insist on mailing things to the 911 address.
So I get asked if the PO box is my 'home address'.
Of course not, but trying to explain the moronic situation doesn't seem to get through thick skulls.
So, judging from what I personally experience, there is much more to the wacky guy's story than he's telling.
*chuckle*

Wow. We (the garage sale people) and I kind of thought he might have been tipping a bottle - even though he didn't smell like alcohol. Maybe a drug combined with too much sun? He just drove right into this cul-de-sac looking for people to talk to. I felt sorry for him - and he said he's married. AND, he told us his last name so maybe I should stalk him to make sure he's not a terrorist. It was kind of funny when he got down on the ground and started praying to Allah. I'm serious.

I just started watching "Riding the Bullet" (Stephen King). At the beginning - the guy reminds me of you (and my own morbid characteristics too). Have you seen it?

"People get unimaginably stupid about that, and single-mindedly insist on mailing things to the 911 address." You should say, "yep; and you wouldn't believe how hard it is getting all your stuff into one of those little boxes. Here's you sign."
