Library / Property Taxes/ Long Lines at Courthouse

The local library opens at 10:00 a.m. and I was there with my previously lost but now thankfully found box of checks. For some unknown reason, the County tax assessor-collector decided to break down the 2018 property taxes into two bills one for the regular county taxes and another for SFDR ISD taxes (school taxes).

At the library, unlike mother's house, I have a lot of room to spread out and plenty of natural light to aid my poor eyesight.

Today was also the last day to pay the Post Office box rental before new rates go into effect on Monday, January 28th.  By the time I got there they had a "Gone to Lunch" sign which I thought odd since the partial government shutdown did not affect them.

Headed for the County Courthouse only to find a very long line and not so happy people who like myself did not like to have to write out two checks per property.  The ladies taking the payments were equally pissed as it doubled their work.  They were not consulted, the citizenry was not consulted and no one was happy.

Headed back to the library since I am having problems with all these images popping up on my home computer from sites I have visited...it started doing the same at the library but on a lesser scale.  Have no idea how I am going to fix this.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


NBA Corner

I am missing my Spurs but tonight I did watch the Toronto Raptors vs Houston Rockets.  I am not a fan of either team so I had no idea that Austin Rivers was now a Rocket.  I know a lot of Rocket fans read me so could someone please tell me when did this take place and why?

I thought Austin Rivers and Chris Paul did not like each other?  How did they end up in the same team after both being LA Clippers?
