They are treating newcomers like a new car purchase and have a highway use tax in leiu of a sales tax, and a title fee to change the title to NC, and a notary fee(that's a racket).Christopher C.

We especially appreciated the large trees in the valley's open area and the bridge to the ridge path. Your blog is so informative and entertaining.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611983692965659884.post-56404237736445296172007-09-27T22:49:00.000-05:002007-09-27T22:49:00.000-05:00There are so many ways to conceive and design a bo...There are so many ways to conceive and design a botanic garden. Which is cool, and which is why I love them. In the Bay Area, U.C. Berkeley and San Francisco Bot are pretty similar affairs (although the former is way better funded than the latter), while Tilden, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Davis feel completely different and each offers something completely different to the visitor.<BR/><BR/>chuck b.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00882763861745236443noreply@blogger.com
