We did go to the Dr. Pepper Museum last week, though

I can't help but think that that 1970s jingle plays on a loop, the staff long ago resigned to despair.

Oh there was a room that played about 6 minutes or so of classic commercials on a loop, I don't know why they cut it to that length, I would have had for 20 easy before I got bored.

oh, here's the other exciting thing that happened recently. The IRS sent us a letter re: our tax return 2 years ago and it was like "Hey, you misfiled when you sold your house, you owe us $350,000. Plus another 80 grand for interest. So yeah, send that check, here's the address" So we go back to the Sherwin-Williams or whatever that did our taxes and luckily, with had the foresight to pay the extra $10 that they would do a free redo should anything go wrong. So they say, "it looks like you're OK" and they sent some letters and faxes. So like 3 months pass and IRS sends a letter like "OK, y'alls cool" No sorry for the inconvenience, none of that shit. Well, it's funny to us now, but some bricks were shat, that's for sure.

Holy macaroni, that'll get you thinking about fleeing the country. Cool that the IRS will go after you but not the rich assholes not filing.

Tep, are you and your family affected by the wildfires we've been seeing on the news?
490 miles away, but thanks for your concern, I'll fill the tub just in case! ;)
Glad all is well, stay safe.

IRS...geez, I'd be having a heart attack if we'd gotten that letter.
