reason number 342 why I love Texas

I went and got my truck / plates transferred to Texas

went into the place ( some ppl call it court house , some ppl call it license branch )

the lady says to me: " it's gonna be high this time because of transferring from another state"

me: I kinda figured that

Lady: total is 119

me:

Lady: I'm sorry

me: um, no, that is cheap, look at how much I paid from that other state

Lady looks at other registration:

Lady: plz tell me that was for 5 years?

me: nope, one year. that's right, 528 bucks for one year

so, needless to say, no biggie on how much Texas charges...lol

I have two tickets but may not be able to make it. I have two home visits for my rescue group on Sunday. One in San Antonio and then one in Wimberly.

So if anyone wants them, let me know. This was the only day I could get these done.

DMV fees in Mississippi are the highest I've paid. Much more than I paid in California; More than in New York. Texas DMV fees are low and that is only one reason it is great here! Reason two, no state income tax; reason three, a reasonable cost of living; reason four, continued growth, specifically in Austin, which is again in the top twenty "cities to live in" in the U.S. this year; reason five, a great community here. It is OUTSTANDING to live here!

That's a given love! Far too important to make the same list with such trivial things as taxes and DMV fees! Am I out of the doghouse yet???

Love you always!

Makes sense! I am really hoping that the damn housing situation begins to level out soon (just can't sell my place at a loss). I do have to relocate. What really sux is being on such a tight budget (my dividend income took a big nose dive in this recession and has not climbed back up much yet) that I can't really travel and that is what I need to so I can check out regions. Right now, a lot of stuff is going on for me right now. But, things will eventually turn around.

Yanno.... the Austinites are always welcome at my place if they vacation in California. I'm a great tour guide and treat guests just like I was from the South! Must have been that 21 years with a woman from 'Bama!!!

And Hey- look what your sweetheart says about Texas!!

yeah, for me Sunday is out, but it would be nice if I can go but don't plan on a different day just for me, whatever works for everyone.
