Government Work Day

Today’s Spring Flower. The ever-unpopular Bradford Pear.

The first “Government Work” task of the day was to turn in my driver’s license and apply for a state ID card.  I had to do that in person. Since it was a nice day, I figured I’d check that item off my Shit2Do list. The state computer system didn’t seem to be setup to handle that transaction elegantly, so, it took a while. But, what else did I have to do?

The Twilight Zone

Giving up my driver’s license – no problem. I stopped driving about 25 years ago when I stopped owning a car. I kept a license for “just in case” and for ID. But for many of us old people, turning in our driver’s license is huge.


Taxes. Actually. I got two tax emails this morning. One from the Tax Guy saying my taxes were ready to review and another from a brokerage house telling me I had a “Corrected 1099”. I don’t think the correction is material. But, I am not pleased with the Tax Guy’s first go at the 2023 returns. More work is required on my part tomorrow. He did OK last year. But he has “new improved” software this year. Yeah. Right. 

But, for now. Things are just fine.

Managed 2.5 mile walk today. That was on the way to the DMV for my state ID. Walk some. Bus some.
