From the Reuters link above: "The Taliban-run Afghan aviation ministry said in a statement on X that the plane’s planned route did not include passing through Afghanistan’s air space and that "probably due to technical issues" the plane had diverted from its planned route." I wonder what "technical" issues would cause a pilot to take a longer route and outfly his fuel range?

You need to get your yellow "tabian bahn" (house registration) book first, a process which, as Steve187 says above, seems to differ in ease according to where you are. The starting point will be your local amphur/district office. Once you have the book the ID card is just a formality.

I get nostalgic when I put my car in reverse. It always takes me back.

I was sitting at a red light yesterday, minding my own business and patiently waiting for it to turn green, even though there was no oncoming traffic. A carload of young and very loud red necks, with a Confederate flag duct-taped on the trunk of their car, and a "guns 'n Jesus" slogan spray painted on the side, was stopped next to me. Suddenly one did a screaming rebel yell, fired his gun in the air and the car took off before the light changed. Out of nowhere an 18-wheeler came speeding through the intersection and ran directly over their car, crushing it completely and killing everyone in it. For several minutes I sat in my car thinking to myself, "Man....that could have been me!" So today, bright and early, I went out and got a job as a truck driver.
