Driving Licence

New driving license Going to the doctor make me nervous I was renewing my driving license and feared they would say no, you are too old and have many illnesses. It was not so bad I had to read the letters from a chart on the wall the doc whispered something I had to repeat, And that was all. Except I can´t drive faster than 90, that was no problem. as I'm a slow driver at the best of times. If stopped by the police, I will ask them for their tattoos a new rule today is that police have a tattoo that can be construed as being of a racist nature( one wonders if this also include naked women) have six months to remove them. I have in my life at sea, never had a tattoo done this is because I'm not too fond of needles. Now that I have diabetes, I use a needle every morning one gets used to what one dislikes. We live at a time when everyone takes offence for bagatelles, like throwing statues into the sea, it will not erase history which when all is said is not flattering for the white man, if we keep a narrow historical view on these things.
