Y’all are the beneficiaries of far more paddling than you know. To answer your specific question … If we’re at the gate, no. Once having moved or moving, yes. Lotta ways that can be perverse for us, customers, or our employer. As to taxes: A chunk-o-change will depart my checking account on Tues to make up for certain shortfalls in our withholding in 2022.
