As good as a holiday

The change? A daily entry before I write something. Oh no! Teh horrorz.

Except that it seems to me I have a solid plan for what I'm going to write. Yay me!

So, my news today is limited.

One item is that my bathroom has now officially relocated itself to Greenwich, for the battery is near-death and the clock is now eleven hours behind. My clocks, apparently, adjust their slowness for amusement and for daylight saving.

The other is that I've noticed a startling trend in TV ads involving food - they never pay for it. Not once. Not ever. They never pay the pizza deliveryman or the cashier or the greengrocer or whoever else is involved in the procurement of food. Has anyone else noticed this? More importantly, could I be wrong? Has there been an ad somewhere, where someone actually does pay for food?

Is it a reflection on me that financial transactions pertaining to food in television advertisements manages to arouse this level of curiosity?

*sigh* We pay 8.25% in Texas. Why the extra quarter, no on knows. However! Texas doesn't have a state income tax, which makes up for the sales tax. There's county tax and federal tax, but no state tax. And Oregon is the state with no sales tax.

Oh, snap. 8.25%. Foiled again. ;)

It was beginning to bother me about which state didn't have sales tax. Thanks!

Delaware too! No sales tax there! Also, in Nashville, TN, the sales tax is over 9%. And, there's no income tax in FL, and we still have only 6.5% tax.
