I do not know where to begin. Its been an arduous day of packing. I finally thought about the storage closet in back of the apartment. I went through it, because among other things it had a dishwasher I had wanted to hang unto--in storage because the apartment had its own dishwasher. Its status with... Sign in to see full entry.

Today was the first day I stepped inside my new apartment. I could not before because of people dwelling in it. But I saw its location and its outside view--excellent for my cats. Just up from the outside alcove is the tall grass and trees beyond--a cat's paradise. Anyway, my eyes opened to the... Sign in to see full entry.

I heard yet another news story today, whereby government officials made some children close down a lemonade stand. Government wants every little iota of a commerce action to abide by the submission to a business license. For a child's little lemonade stand that is petty. It would be something like...

I have been packing belongings, getting ready to move, and, in the process, I found a deck of cards. The cards were well-worn. I counted them. Sure enough, all 52 were there. So then I had to play solitaire. I kept playing. I had been relieved when that deck was tucked away and forgotten, and other... Sign in to see full entry.

A couple blogs ago, I mentioned alternative taxing methods--namely the fair tax and the flat tax--but I needed a little refreshing, so I looked them up.

Small kids with colored chalk live at my apartment complex, and they make sidewalk or parking lot art with it. Hop-Scotch squares is one thing they make. Today I saw a cute statement written of a curb. It read "I love you as much as a fat kid loves a cupcake." One might argue that that is a... Sign in to see full entry.

Point-blank questions: Are loopholes legal? Well, aw, aw,... yes. So what is a 'loophole'? A legal deduction filed in payment of taxes. Who calls them 'loopholes' and why? Liberals or people of a disapproving, busy-body attitude about someone else's taxes. They want to imply that the 'greedy' 'rich'... Sign in to see full entry.

At the Farmer's Market I saw a booth for donations of books to prisoners. This reminded me of a prisoner in the recent news who was complaining that there no books by Patterson in his prison library. That is an ungracious attitude, but it does not take away the positive value that books may have in... Sign in to see full entry.

Yesterday I heard about a coffee shop that had been robbed during its opening hour. It is a terrible thing that people take money by force that is not theirs. I hope for the coffee shop's sake that there was not much in the actual till at the time, but the thought of the crime is jaw-dropping. What... Sign in to see full entry.

For the liberals, tax increases are not unusual. But a tax cut, in their minds, is withholding of what is "rightfully theirs"--or in their rhetoric "ours." So then, if taxes are cut, i.e. "withheld," then in Nancy Pelosi's words that is a "piggy bank for the rich" while medicare comes under... Sign in to see full entry.
