Christmas/New Years isn't exactly the best time to be handing the state $100. Like the last time, I'll buy right before the card expires and have a buddy tie me over until I get around to renewing...or not. The woman on the phone mentioned something about October 2014 but it wasn't quite clear what she meant. Perhaps this should be my target date for expiration. In the meantime, I'll wait and see what they come up with. Thx
