Parking and Pictures

I seriously think my driving skills are regressing. Which is scary, considering they weren't that great to begin with. It took me at least 5 tries to park my car today, and when I finally got out I was sticking out a good 3 feet. Which led to a few more attempts at parking. Anyway, what led to the parking problem was my Scotland application. I need two passport pictures to send in with the papers, so I went down to Kinko's today. Right before the lady took my picture she informed me that I could smile, but couldn't show my teeth. Which automatically doomed me to a bad picture. It was still better than my last one though, which is saying how bad that one was. Do you ever notice though, that pictures that once seemed decent will look bad years later? Or is that just me? Its scary; how do you know if the picture you took is really a good one? I feel myself starting to ramble, so I think I'll just end with that profound question.
