โ€œI Can See for Miles, and Miles, and Miles!โ€๐Ÿ˜Ž
Today was โ€œTHEโ€ dayโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ.๐Ÿ˜…
Silvertop and Liz were up extra early, and heading to our local Department Of Motor Vehicles in town to โ€œTRYโ€ and renew Silvertops Drivers License!๐Ÿ˜Š
Tryโ€ฆ..was the keyword here my friends๐Ÿ˜‡
โ€œAppointments only today!โ€๐Ÿ˜ฎ
You need to schedule an appointment sir, or drive down towards Seattle, to the next town, and they โ€œMIGHTโ€ take walk in drivers License renewals.โ€
We were sitting in Bellinghamโ€™s Walmart parking lot, already 45 minutes from home, debating if driving another hour to Mt Vernonโ€™s DMV was worth it!๐Ÿ™„
The earliest appointment in our towns DMV was June 30, well past my Birthday on June 12.
I questioned the man at the counter in our townโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ..
โ€œIf I wait till then, I will be driving on an expired license!โ€๐Ÿ™„
โ€œYepโ€ฆโ€ฆ. donโ€™t have an accident!โ€โ˜บ๏ธ
I had just received notification that I needed to renew โ€œIn Personโ€ and no appointments were open before my Bโ€™day. They did not allow ample notice of the in person appointment requirement !๐Ÿค”
Silvertop was being backed into a corner, not of his making, with no way to get out, or any way to fix this problem!๐Ÿ™„
โ€œLiz, I guess we take a chance and drive to the next town, and โ€œHopeโ€ they will take me today!๐Ÿ˜ฎ
We arrived in Mt Vernon at approximately 10:30 AM and satโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆand sat!
Two hours later, they finally called me up front, Silvertop was stressed!๐Ÿ˜…
โ€œLook into the viewfinder sir and tell me what you can read!โ€
โ€œMiss, I just received a new eyeglass prescription and my eyesight has improved!โ€
โ€œYou still need to read the chart sir!โ€๐Ÿค”
OKโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ๐Ÿ˜‡
Silvertop tried without his glasses that he has been required to wear since he started driving at age 16!
Three blocks of letters were in the viewerโ€ฆโ€ฆ.
I read the left block, I looked closer at the second block and read all the letters. The third block I could not read.๐Ÿ™„
โ€œSir this is your paper temporary license. Your permanent one will be mailed to you.โ€
โ€œLizโ€ฆ. I passed โ€œWITHOUTโ€ glasses!โ€๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜
Silvertop was ecstatic, for the first time since I was 16 years old, I did not need to wear my glasses to drive!โ˜บ๏ธ
โ€œSilvertop you have approximately 20/40 vision without glasses, that is within the legal requirements!โ€๐Ÿฅฐ
โ€œAwesome honey, I feel FREE!โ€๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿค—
Liz do you want me to drive to Starbucks, โ€œWithoutโ€ my glasses Lol?โ€๐Ÿ˜‡
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike ๐Ÿ˜Š

It really is pretty bizarre, my friend!๐Ÿ™„
And the sad part is we pay taxes for this!!๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜‡

DMV is the epitome of governmental bureaucracy, and never a pleasant experience. Congrats on it going so smoothly, my friend, and on your improved eyesight, that's excellent! My eyesight leaves a bit to be desired...lol! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

I have been so used to wearing glasses my entire life to drive, it was a pleasant surprise to be able to pass the eye test!๐Ÿ˜‡

Perhaps when someone drinks @tydynrain's superfood fire coffee, he/she won't need to use his/her eyes to safely drive !INDEED (though I'm definitely not saying that someone should drive without using their eyesight)! ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜…

I always close my eyes when I drive.....๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿคฃ

I want to assume that you are referring to simply "blinking" instead of closing your eyes while you are driving (a vehicle on a public road) !INDEED! ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜…

Why not close your eyes when you have supervision Lol!!๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‡

Do you mean that someone else (beside you) becomes your "eyes" while you drive a vehicle (at the road) !INDEED? ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ˜…

hmmm.......... of course I am legal to drive without my glasses, but I wonder how many people out there that have 20/40 vision are driving without glasses!!๐Ÿ™„

That's amazing, my friend, and of that I have no doubt! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

Can't wait for my first drive down the road without glasses Lol!!๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

Awesome sauce, my friend, let me know how it goes! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

Let's see if Liz wants to be my copilot Lol!!!๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿ˜€

She's your natural co-pilot, my friend, how could she say no?!? ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

Lol........ So very true my friend!!!๐Ÿ˜‡๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ˜€

That sometimes brings people to the debate whether being (legally) able to drive is a right or a privilege. ๐Ÿคฏ

!PIXY

It is a right, and licenses are unconstitutional, as everyone has the right to movement and transportation. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

Some of those who oppose that (try to) point out that not requiring licenses (both for people and for vehicles) can be dangerous for the driver, any other passenger, and other people outside the vehicle. ๐Ÿคฏ

People must take full responsibility for themselves and what they do, a license or lack thereof doesn't change that. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

I got reminded of people who said that they complained about certain (licensed) professionals who failed to deliver good services to them, only to find out that while they were "successful" in having the licenses of such professional service providers revoked, they only lost money and time in the process !INDEED. ๐Ÿคฏ

!WEIRD !HOPE !WINEX !PIXY

Indeed, a license means nothing, other than perhaps buying into the lie that we need to pay to exercise our inherent rights. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’šโœจ๐Ÿค™

I have already played a few games where "licenses" in-game (part of the game itself, not those games where you buy only the license and not the full game) are directly said to be unnecessary (or something similar), but then the "government", "council", or whatever powerful in-game "organization" does require them. ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿค“

Well that sounds good! I still wouldn't drive without the glasses, better save than sorry :-D Congratulations anyway!

It does make me wonder how many people are on the road that are legal to drive but still don't see very well!!!๐Ÿ™„

I will say congratulations
