You never know what will come up in the way of a ponder here on The Porch. How we got to this one I am not sure but this one in my thinking is  ponder worthy. As we age things do change…that shouldn’t surprise anyone but there is one subtle change that is sometimes overlooked. Words and their meanings as applied to us aging folks would be one. Here is today’s word. Guarantee…  a promise that something will be done or will happen, especially a written promise by a company to repair or change a product that develops a fault within a particular period of time:… First thing, I did take the time after our porch time to do a bit of research on this subject. Here is the subject of this  porch time. Renewing your Tennessee Driver License. The truth is for us older folks this can become a problem. There is a state system in place which is convenient and easily accessed, especially with the internet website. This is the state site… https://www.tn.gov/safety/driver-services/online.html . We are allowed with proper paper work to renew our DL. Whoa Hoss… we have become used to this as kinda a informal guarantee. To keep this short and sweet here is the skinny on this. If you are 65 or older you can still renew your DL on line or in person but be aware of this…The DL person assisting you has the power to require you to have an eye test…even a written test if they believe it is needed. That is posted in the procedures listed on their State Site. So Ponder This… That word Guarantee…for us it changes with time.
