On Easter Sunday and rang the doorbell.

MN is an exceptionally high tax state. State income tax, property tax, sales tax, excise tax on many items, high auto license fees, and various cities and counties have additional sales taxes. Any number of very wealthy people maintain an official residence in South Dakota and a "vacation"...

I had an issue with my property tax statement and called MN Department of Revenue. All I kept getting for 15 minutes was a repeat of the automated menuing and boilerplate Q & A. Finally, after recycling the menu over and over, I got a recorded message with a phone number to call to actually talk...

It took all day, but I am done. I've used TurboTax for many years. This year it was a mess.

All 10 noodle presses have made their way to:

I think they take a hypocritical oath.

I was overcharged $183.00 by my regular dentist, Metro Dental. They screwed up the claim to my dental insurer. The oral surgeon doing my implant is associated with another office of Metro Dental. That office tried to overcharge me $2000.00 at my last visit. I have phenomenal dental insurance for...

Taxes on the schedule for tomorrow.

I have issues to resolve. Maybe, just maybe, seeing Vietnam as it is today, will clear some of those sad memories. I have to try.

"or to a Buddhist or Catholic Orphanage to work with the kids. " I frequently visited a Catholic orphanage. Knowing what kind of lives most of the mixed race kids would live made me want to take them all home with me. A guy with whom I was stationed volunteered for a second tour just so he could...

Just think....of the bar girls and hookers who are still alive, most must be in their 70s and in different occupations. I wouldn't mind spending a couple of months in Vung Tau. Maybe I could connect with a hot 60 something Vietnamese woman.

If I only knew in 1969. Three weeks with the fear of farting. Yum, spring rolls from a roadside stand; such sweet meat. It must have been river rat, not the harvested rat from the rice fields.

I may try that in my next life.

I showed it to my younger daughter and now I have two more 10es on order for my grandkids.

When I was much younger and had an eager female traveling companion, I also enjoyed the long drives. Older, I'd rather teleport in an instant. For an inexplicable reason, my late wife deigned conversation while driving, much preferring to sit quietly and watch the landscape or snooze. She might...

Me too. I'd just hang out in the smoking tent for all the hours it's open, just smoking and visiting with other pipe smokers. I might take a peek at some pipes, but I'm done buying.

In truth, although I never expressed an interest in taking Ruby from my daughter, had I known that my son-in-law was taking her to a rescue to be re-homed, I would have taken her. I think she has a better life where she is now, with kids to play with, than she would have been with me. We'd have...

Before I'm too old to make that kind of trip, I'd like to retrace my steps. I'll use a guided tour service. I really don't have either the desire or balls to travel extemporaneously anymore. I want things planned with a tour guide. I knew many Vietnamese nationals during my tour in '68-'69, but...

My brother and his wife live nine months a year in MN and three months in Houston during the winter. His daughter is a heart surgeon in Houston. Last spring my brother turned 80, but because of pandemic concerns he had no birthday party. In May, he and his wife celebrate their 50th wedding...
