Glad to hear good news for keberoxu and Charmion, one deadline moved up, another moved back, and all for the good!

Home-roasted savory pecans sound yummy. I am awash in the pecans they should not be growing in this part of the country, and using them in little bits here and there. So good, but the hips and the gut don't need to overdose on them.

One step forward, the fed taxes figured out in pencil; because I kept good notes last year and they didn't change the forms. I'm probably wrong, but it seems like possibly the first time in my adult life they didn't change the forms or formulas. Have not tackled the state form, so let's not get cocky.

But call it two-steps-backward, am really reluctant to mail the fed form in on paper with all the firings, and my last two dealings with tax software were a mess. Might have to see if there's a preparer at the local senior center who could take my figures and just file it properly electronically; batched in with all the rest, perhaps it would slip through the radar without problems.

Meanwhile lost all of today to hassles with 2 different motor vehicle registration offices, but some coherent lady seems to have set things in the proper motion, so we'll see how the wheels grind on that one.
