Ah, the joys of being self-employed. It is June 15th and that means it's time to send in another estimated taxes payment to the Internal Revenue Service (and another check to the North Carolina Department of Revenue). So this is a pretty good explanation as to why I have a great house but have to spend so much time away from it: somehow, I've got to earn the money to pay a share of it to the government.
So each time before I leave home, I'll get cleaned up in my county-inspected new bathroom, brush my teeth with municipal water, turn off the lights that come from a publicly-regulated utility, and hit the public highway to go earn my living. I'm okay with the trade-offs.
