Location Update

Now that I have an apartment, it is necessary to correct the maps I previously shared regarding my living location and work.

Here's the scoop from google maps:

My apartment is an easy 20 minute walk to work.  I could make it in a lot less time, but as I said earlier, that whole arriving at work sweaty thing is not a good way to start the work day.

My brother found another good angle to view this location so here's an alternate view:

Look at all that water!

Tax is IN the price

America should try putting the tax of things into the price so the price the consumer sees on the shelf is THE price they pay.
I suppose that would be too complex, what with city sales tax, probably county tax, state tax, and fed tax, properly labeling the price of something would be too difficult...

Here in New Zealand, it's really great to buy something and know the price on the shelf is the price at the checkout, tax already included.

A person can really get spoiled by knowing the price they are presented is the final price.  It would never fly in the US, it's too simple and too transparent.   sigh.
