Today my drivers license expired. I wasn't really paying much attention to that fact, although I knew it was happening this year. I had decided to take the day off to just hang around the house, so of course we didn't. First stop: the Westside Market for bread for tomorrow -- and the rest of the week, because neither of us has ever met a loaf of bread we didn't like! We also stopped at the Vietnamese booth and the crepes vendor, where I got a banana, peanut butter and chocolate stuffed crepe. That was supposed to be the only stop on our trip, but on the way home we decided to go to the Verizon store to unplug some of the apps on our phones. It was when the sales associate there asked Jim for his drivers license that I realized we had one more place to go!
The Drivers License facility was on our way home. As always, it was a pleasant experience. I was second in line. The very nice lady behind the counter and I chatted about vision restrictions, glasses, and the fact that both of us were named "Patricia Ann" while we completed the paperwork. There was a mirror by the picture-taking area so you could comb your hair and make sure there weren't any little green things in your teeth. LESS THAN HALF AN HOUR LATER, I was legal for another four years, with a picture that actually looks like me. Doing business with the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles is so unlike my past experiences at the Lombard IL facility that I am always amazed.
