July 4 keeps getting louder and louder.  And more annoying.

We keep our DVD subscription because the instant watch selections are so
lousy.  And, even the available DVDs aren't that great, unfortunately.

I started watching Sense8.  I stopped only after 2 episodes.

I got a nastygram from the tax assessor last year because I had underpaid
my property tax.  It's a real drag and nerve racking.

My current strategy is to send an autopayment that's about $1000 more than
it should be.  If I don't correct it to be the right amount before it gets
sent, at least I won't be a delinquent :-).
