Well, a pair of follow-ups regarding my license renewal process.
First, they renewed my license. Then, a second “lifetime” license was issued. That’s great news; no more annual bureaucratic nightmare.

Second: My order of the 2023 code and changes books went astray. Post Office delivered an empty box. Claim is being submitted; there’s no telling when this mess will be sorted out. Worst case? Vendor insured $400 worth of books for $100; crime makes us victims again.
