We love the IRS. Not. Last year we got $7500 from the govt for our kids, but then we found out when we filed taxes this year that we had to pay it all back since we live outside of the US. Yeah, it was super fun coming up with that kind of money immediately! Interesting that they bought tons of ammo a few years ago and are now saying they're going to be carrying guns. So glad we live far away from a lot of the US crazytimes.

Hope you are safer than the rest of us here in the stomping grounds.

Thanks!

That is one of the reasons we moved out of the US, but still...is anywhere safe these days really? Pretty much tracked everywhere, but we think it's a little harder here...literally no addresses. You tell people how to get to your location based on landmarks - nearest school, church, street, etc. It was interesting at first learning to get around, but now we are kind of used to it. Ha!

I hope Goolag has given up on mapping it. I have never taken to the use of taking directions from phones anyway. I like your way of letting folks know where to find you better than numbered streets.

It gets to be interesting when the internet company needs to come out and they ask you to confirm your address. Ha! I never remember what is the "official" one that I should tell them. Sometimes there is a "barrio" listed and sometimes it's just the street or even just the town in general. It makes things kind of interesting.

Some years ago I was camping for half a year, striving to get hired on with a particular company out of the area, and had to file taxes, get new id, and etc, while my only physical address was the creek drainage I preferentially camped at. The IRS and DMV did NOT like that, but because the tax return was 'official' and the tax people just wanted their money they accepted the address, the DMV begrudgingly did too.

Was actually funny when the DMV mentioned they would accept the IRS tax return as verification of the address, and I happened to have it on me.

Boy, that sure is funny! Surprising that they would accept that as your address, but I guess you gotta do what you gotta do! Ha! Enjoy the weekend!
