Roadblogging: Day 5
Didn’t quite make it to the coast, but it’s an easy two-hour drive from here. I’m holed up in Henrico County, VA in the greater Richmond area. The weather is lovely, a bit warmer than Knoxville and a hell of a lot nicer than NM or IL was. The sales tax rate seems rather low, compared to what I’m used to. Property taxes are reasonable, except in Richmond proper, where they’re a tad high at about 1.4%. The waiting period on a firearm is about as long as the line leading up to the cash register. This is so much better than Kalifornia; maybe I should just cut that road trip short and stay put.

ha ha. Does VA tax food and prescription drugs, too? NC does. 2% on food and prescriptions, about 7% on everything else, depending on your locality.
