Happens in CA too... though our laws are also weird in that non-prepared foods (and locally prepared foods for consumption by students) are not taxed. You can also avoid sales tax by having items shipped, though you're supposed to pay the sales tax in the locality you have them shipped to. [And it's probably not terribly useful to have them shipped out of the US.] Don Armstrong -- We cast this message into the cosmos. [...] We are trying to survive our time so we may live into yours.
