<p>yes, oldfort, we have to pay taxes on it - DS wrote the check for the sales tax and license yesterday and we’ll have to pay income taxes on it next year. </p>
<p>Bookworm, DS is doing great, enjoying his job in San Mateo, he paid off all his student loans with his 2nd paycheck and still had money left over, thanks to great finaid at Caltech. His plan is to rent an apartment in San Mateo this week(he’d been staying on a friend’s couch). Not sure why he wanted the car first, but he did. His girlfriend is planning on moving in with him at the end of next month. No, we won’t be in a commercial… Hope things are well with you and yours!</p>
Your S sounds like he is in a “nice place” with his job, new car, GF & soon a place of his own!</p>
