@Oma_Trisha heh--that does not sound like a bad life. Most days anyway. ;-)

Looks like we dodged a bullet tax-wise. Refund!

Thank you, inflation reduction act-- we were able to take a $2k credit for our heat pump install.

@Oma_Trisha nice!

@n8evans feels like it's been quite a while since there was a 3rd party candidate that wasn't a cynical spoiler put forward to siphon votes away from the major. Ralph Nader maybe? Ross Perot?
