May 15th and October 15th

Here in Minnesota, property taxes are due today and October 15th...half each time.
I received a notice last year that I hadn't paid EITHER time. Oh, man...how did that happen??!
Thinking back, it was because son's wedding was on May 14th and my job was in turmoil on October 15th...definitely, other things on my mind....

This year, however, son and daughter-in-law have just celebrated their first anniversary with their new little daughter, I have a new job (including paycheck), and the online payment system with the county actually works!
Hooray...
