I was watching the news a few nights ago and there was a story that was rather incredible. I have found out that if you use the Massachusetts Turnpike to get to work (which I do), you are eligible to be reimbursed for gas. Amazing. Here’s how it works (or something): the tolls you pay on the turnpike are not taxed by the state, but the gas that you pay for to use the road is taxed, so by traveling and using the turnpike, you are eligible to receive some sort of compensation. Of course, you have to save ALL of your gas receipts and ALL of your turnpike recieipts, but still they said you could get back as much as $200-300 bucks. Maybe I’ll try it. I save all my receipts anyway. I am an anal bookeeper when it comes to my personal finances. Quicken saved my life back in 1998.
I’ve been doing this blog for a couple of months now and I’m mad at myself for not mentioning to you the Tarbox Ramblers, who have been entertaining me now for four years running. They play just about every Saturday night at one Boston’s best bars, The Burren, and every single time they’re just excellent. Saw them again last night and it was one of the better ones. Keep on keepin’ on…..
I’m getting bored with my car. This picture below is not my actual car, but it’s the same year and style. Mine’s tan. Every two years or so, I just get flat bored with my car and I want one I inevitably cannot afford. Just ride it out, Jeffo……
