heck I think I'll ride my bicycle to chipotles for lunch and get my vegan burrito bowl with extra beans and fajita veggies!
That's the only thing I eat there. Since I left Berkeley, It's the only show in town. What passes for authentic Mexican out here is just bland. If I'm going to have bland, it might as well be Chipotle.
On the wine tip, a friend of mine who teaches at Sur La Table told me L’Authentique is one of the best French table wines you can buy at Trader Joe's and it is so cheap too.

I just finished Taxes for last year. CA tax comes up more than twice than previous year. Simple reason: most typical Federal deduction is ignored by CA now.
REPro, do you know what changes were made in 2012 by CA? I haven't completed my taxes yet.
Already with fed AMT I can't deduct property tax or state income tax. I knew about the CA rate changes but didn't hear about deduction changes.
Always do TurboTax. Don’t go into details. However with almost same income and deductions vs. previous year, AGI (base for calculating tax) for CA ended up 35%. That’s sneaky changes. CA budget has to be closed somehow.

Now that super low interest rates are baked into payments, the top is forming in pricing. I know that one month does not make a trend, but one would expect stronger sales with prices increases that we had and we did not get it.
