Invite is missing 10am PDT.

My friend in LA says parking is impossible and expensive down there. No free parking. Also a known homeless part of town.

The “Real ID” is a $500 problem for me. My birth certificate shows that I have a first name, two middle names and a last name. When I was about 21, I discovered my second middle name which my parents denied they had given me (apparently a clerk added it from my Father’s middle name). I liked it so much that I began only using it and my last name going forward.

Now the California DMV won’t give me a “Real ID” until I go through the courts to formally change my second middle name to my first name to the tune of $500 - even though it shows my name on the birth certificate (as a second middle name) and have been using it as my first name for more than 50 years. I don’t plan to ever fly again (I’m 74 and live in a Paradise called Santa Cruz CA). So I’m not going to spend $500 for something I’ll never use. Bureaucrats. 

Hope this won’t keep me from being able to use Apple’s Wallet from storing my Unreal driver’s license.

A key is worth more than the price of one of these NFC or Bluetooth locks.

Why not an Apple Bicycle instead of a car to encourage bike riding instead of driving all the time? And a lot more people could afford an Apple Bike instead of the ultra rich few who will have to pay $50,000 to $100,000 a copy.
