Running Errands

Monday & Tuesday were spent running errands. On Monday, we drove back to Riverside (the county sat) to go to the Californian State Board of Equalization Office.  That is where we applied to get our resellers certificate so we don't have to pay sales tax at auctions and estate sales.  After waiting in the waiting room for about 15 minutes, we were brought into the office where a very nice woman assisted us in filling out the paperwork and giving us our resale certificate.  We are now officially in business in California!  Hurray!

I also sold three more books today on Amazon. Our inventory is dwindling  to 11 books total.  We need to get more books! 

Today I went to CVS pharmacy to get some of our prescriptions refilled.  It's nice to have a national pharmacy that just refills prescriptions regardless of what state you're in.  We also set them up for automatic refill and they will call us when they are ready.  Just like back in Mass.

One thing different from back in Mass though are the liquor laws.  It seems that not only liquor stores sell liquor, but just about every one else does too.  All the grocery stores, the pharmacy's like CVS and Walgreens, and Sams Club carry a full range of beer, wines and hard liquor.  The strange thing though that you cannot walk out of the stores carrying liquor that is not in a bag.  That means that if you buy a 24-pack of Budweiser, they have to put it in a bag!  Go figure!
