So here's what happened. I had not received a bill for the taxes due on a property that I received in February. Last tuesday after much thought (and a search in my folders), I realized that I had not picked up my final decree confirming sale. It had been eight months. What was I thinking? Not much apparently.
Well I drove to the court house and asked about it. They seemed very cool about it. I paid them the ten bucks. I paid less than forty bucks to register it in my name. I even went by the trustee's office to pay an additional thousand dollars for the tax bill I did not receive. I got some weird looks when I said that I had bought a property in which I thought owed property taxes. I guess they figured that they shouldn't complain if I were paying a stranger's tax bill. It's not like I am trying to cheat them. I probably couldn't if I wanted to do so. They let me pay and sent me on my merry way.
Other than that the day was uneventful. I got stuck in a traffic jam that took so long that I got to jump start the car in the next lane. It seems that that she had been running her AC without running her engine. I also went to the mall and bought some shoes. My current pair are starting to come apart at the seems.
But man, I felt like a doofus. Here I am trying to tell you, the reader, how to do this stuff, and I miss one of the most important steps.
So until next time...
