I went over to dmv to renew my license on Thursday.  I had no problems, in and out in 10 minutes.  They needed to see my boating safety certificate and I carry that in my wallet so no big deal.  Then yesterday in the mail, I get something from dmv that says starting May 7th (this coming Monday) you will be able to renew your license for 8 years.  I go and look at my newly renewed license and it's only good for 4 years!  Doh!
