Unfortunately no. I had to bail due to a conflict.

I stick to mixed drinks when in Thailand. I've yet to have an Asian beer that was any good.

I'm hoping there's no cyclones while I am out there. Australia's having a rather busy season, this year. Exmouth took a direct hit from a Cat 5 (Australian scale, so a 4 on ours) just a few years back.

I rather enjoy the Viet Namese beers. I need to find the name of one; it was a great name. There are a lot of relatively mild ones, but I've found some that have more of a range.

But it would be your first cyclone, right? Maybe not as good as a FM dot, but you can add it to your natural disaster list.

Having a mortgage and a home office (that's my only "office" and official place I work, and yes, it's mandated by my employer) really helps my tax situation.

Somebody recently posted about the Vietnamese Beer Trail. It looked pretty ^.

IL's taxes are pretty simple.

1) Find your federal AGI.
2) There's barely any deductions (529 plans and some random farming/energy credit stuff)
3) X 3%

Done.
