Got my driver's license renewed!

I have a vision disability. When I got my license renewed 4 years ago, the clerks took awhile to decide to renew my license. That was the first renewal after dr. quack ruined my eye. I've been worried about going in to renew this year. It was easier this time and I passed. Yay!
I went in to the license bureau the beginning of Aug and got my tag stickers, learned that Ohio now has a 6 month grace period to renew your driver's license. My expired a few days ago, wanted to get it over with.

purposes. When the computer screen eye test was giving him difficulty the kind administrator pulled out the old fashioned paper one and he passed without issue. I was pleasantly surprised they did that for him.

Not to brag, but I will I've been driving almost 50 years, no tickets, fines or accidents, knock wood. I've only hit 1 animal, a rabbit after dark, probably over 40 years ago. I drive in traffic every time I go to town, so I stay in practice. Everyone in my immediate family have gotten speeding tickets, and I like to razz them. lol
