So last night, I started filing my taxes (at the very last minute, I know, which is why I disappeared ), but I'm not able to finish them. I'll need to look for a piece of info later today, and then I can finish the filing. Fortunately (and I know this because I've done this before), there are no penalties for filing late if one is getting money back, AND, if one is getting money back, one doesn't even need to file for an extension.

I’ve heard this as well, but haven’t checked into it. Oddly, I didn’t even think of it yesterday when I was filing the extension and saying I wouldn’t be owing anything.

I do know that in years past (long before e-filing), I’d mailed my return in a day late a couple of times and never heard a peep from them about it. No idea if those were owing years or refund years, but it was apparently never an issue.

TOD

We were relatively slow in moving from mono to stereo, and our first actual stereo player - a console from Sears around 1961 - was nothing to write home about. Even then, my parents would still sometimes save the dollar by picking a mono copy of something. We got stereo through the record clubs, at least, and a particular exciting thing for me was getting to know the D’Oyly Carte G&S operas in their London stereo releases.

I had a few MONO albums, but I mostly bought 45s.

I had a console stereo that was given me by an aunt.....but I think one of the speakers was bad because some sounds were muted.

After that - I bought a stereo phonograph on a metal wire stand. It had the speakers on the side and a drop down turntable. It was most excellent!

I'm up, I'm up - five hours of sleep. She of the Evil Eye just showed up - earlier and earlier - I'm gonna have to say something - eight-thirty is early enough. If I hadn't gotten up before the alarm at eight (up at 7:45) I would have barely been up.

Well we did okay. The new guy was good.

The middle of the dance section is not working so I will redo that - but the rest works.

I found a container with six 3.5 small hard computer disks in a drawer.

Labels but nothing written on them. I shall get out my USB disk reader and see what I have.

Sounds like it went really well!

So glad that most of the number works.

And, of course, I know nothing about state income tax returns, only federal. Washington state doesn't have any income tax.

I'm back from London and got to see two movies on the flight - Argentina, 1985 and American Symphony. I especially liked Argentina, 1985. It was a natural follow-on to our Corpus Evita opera as it dramatizes the 1985 junta trials where the civilian government convicted and jailed the prior military dictatorship - apparently the only time this has happened.

Back from an omelet and a side Caesar salad. That used to be considered an alternate to potatoes or toast but now they just decided to tack on a $2.00 extra charge in addition to a 3% aren't we great fee. I think I'm about done with Hugo's.

Is the 3% aren't we great fee an addition to the price or to the tip?

I don't think I have used it outside my house since Mom gave it to me.

Most perplexing, as W.S. Gilbert would say.
