All my Exes live in Nexus or It makes perfect sense to me. Sometimes when I’m in the office, I’m not really IN the office.

RE: “Amazon trying to dodge TN sales taxes” on Nashville Business Journal

Okay, not sure how this is going to play out, but it brings up a lot of issues. It took a while to get mind around this as some of my Kindle book purchases have sales and use tax collected by Amazon and some of them don’t. Strangely enough, I can see their side of the issue. Let’s hope that the smaller projects in rural areas will now receive as much thinking outside the box on special issues that our businesses have.
