I passed the eye test at the DMV on Friday. I've never had a driver's license that had no restrictions. See how happy I am (It didn't hurt that the woman taking the photos was quite a character.).
The DMV in southeast DC is actually a good example of what I like about the city. When you scrape away federal Washington with all it's politicians and staffers and lawyers, it's, at heart, a friendly southern city. At the DMV, folks chatted with neighbors and joked. Everyone wanted to know how I liked the lasik surgery and who did it.
They're not perfect. On my way out, I noticed that my driver's license still had the eyeglasses restriction on the back. I went back in right to the same clerk and they reprinted the license. On my way out the second time, I noticed she had substituted a "0" for the second digit in my weight implying a significant weight loss. I wasn't going back again.
