Just wrote the check to pay the property taxes. I'll cruise on over to the court house later this morning and drop it off. Taxes not due until the second Monday in November, as always, and I used to wait until the very last hour to pay them. That was back in the day when the bank paid an honest rate of return for the use of my money and I tended to leave it with them so long as I could. Now, it matters not, and the County might could* use the money to meet an imminent payroll, or please a long-suffering creditor.So today I will pay my property taxes.
*The phrase "might could" is used deliberately and correctly. Grammar police: pass on by.
You may note at the top of the page there is a new tab, "Short Stories." I have placed the current series of stories I am posting on Thursdays here in one place, should you like to review any of them. New ones will be added each Thursday.

Lin, don't we all just love our taxes!
What happened to all the other comments?
Grace, I use a touch pad, a very sensitive touch pad, and I had an "accident" in which I inadvertently deleted about fifty comments. I tried to recover them, but apparently 1)that cannot be done; or 2) I can't figure out how to do it. Sorry. Really, because I enjoy having the comments.
I put ours off this the last minute just on general principles.
Sharkey, I used to roll the same way. A few years ago, though, the county was in such dire straits that they were pleading for "early" payment if at all possible. So, . . .
