There are no magic on-off rules. But here are some indications. Where you rent or own property. Where you are registered to vote. Where you maintain your bank accounts. Where you receive your mail. Where you have a driver's license. Where you register your car. There are others. But you get the idea. You have to show contact with the state you claim as your legal residence. It gets rather complicated when moving out of the country -- as you can imagine.Steve Cottonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-60895912745177526232011-05-28T17:37:01.653-05:002011-05-28T17:37:01.653-05:00I am not certain I could have done anything if I h...I am not certain I could have done anything if I had seen him tossing the eggs.

I'd have it picked up and taken to where it belongs, in someone else's backyard. Like yours. Tee Hee. I don't have anything against them, but they are too scary for me.
