Now *that'll* make a dent in the List

Did you know that to be eligible for U.S. stimulus checks, it's sufficient to have U.S. *citizenship*, even if you're not a resident?

Turns out we had just fallen far enough off the U.S. government's radar that they forgot to send us any.

I've fixed that.

(Current status: I've finished filling out the necessary paperwork for my parents and having them check it over, and we will be mailing it shortly. I filed my own paperwork last month, and yesterday I deposited my first two catch-up payments (in the form of a single USD$1,800 check); the third payment will be coming along a while later.)

(To give you a better sense of scale here: between the three of us, this will constitute a total of approximately CAD$11,700.)
