That's what we're afraid of here. The politicians keep trying to sell a state income tax by saying property taxes and sales tax can be "lowered" (not eliminated). I know they both will just creep back up.

We already have a transit tax imposed on us when we pay our vehicle registration each year. It was voted down but the politicians instituted it anyway. It's infuriating because vehicle values are artificially inflated for maximum tax. Also, there is NO transit in my area. So I get ZERO benefit.

Good morning OM and thanks for the memes.

Good morning to all early risers. For you who have to work, may your first cup of courage help you make it to cup #2 etc.

From 70 to 45 F in 24 hours. And tonight it gets below freezing. In a couple of days it’s back to the 60s.

Grandpa taxi will be running this morning. Then brunch with my life partner and then see my son. It’s a colder but good day ahead.

Morning B2... please be careful driving your precious cargo... Don't forget your precious too.️️

Same. IDK if I could actually shoot a person.

I wonder sometimes how I didn't.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Drive safely!

Bossy wench!!!

Good morning and happy? Monday...... Hope everyone in storm paths managed ok. Things are good here ...... It's coffee time for me

Surveying her domain!

I think that she may be smarter than any cat I've ever known.


She is every bit as attentive to her human, all the time.

This ice storm was 100 miles north of me. Lots of power outages up north.

The forecast for Wednesday is a beast for more severe weather. Watch out MissK and others in its path.

I gave that serious thought earlier today... more with full nights than naps.

I have to tell you. On vacation last week I took a number of naps. And it was great!

Last Monday, I took a 45 minute nap in the morning and then like an hour nap in the afternoon. More vacations! More naps!

They are saying this is already been a record-breaking year for severe weather.

That there is one mischievous, looking cat!

 

[Wonderer67]

He is a cuddle all the time... and a big goof

I am glad Sven is back to “normal.”

At least attitude and personality wise!

 

[Wonderer67]

It does. It's just difficult to get off. The nurse in me recoils at the uncleanliness of it all.

My ex father-in-law was of the old breed.

He nicked himself with a chainsaw once on the leg. Legend has it that he went back to the house, duct taped it and went back to work.

Now this is family lore from the exes side of the fam.

But I wouldn’t doubt it. He’s a tough son of a bitch!

Even when taxes go “down”, they still go up.

I don't like fermented foods. I won't eat sauerkraut, kombucha, or kimchee. I do like yoghurt.

Does wine, beer and liquor fall under the “fermented food” family?

If so, I’m a fan!

 

[Wonderer67]

How do you cook them?

You can boil them, sauté them, broil them.

Or best of all, you can eat em raw!! (Grated, sliced, cubed)

Beets are a “superfood” whatever the hell that means. They are not to everyone’s taste.

Well home after a busy weekend. Saturday I was in Birmingham for a conference with 4.5 hours driving each way so up at 3.00 am and home @ 9.00pm. Fortunately my pal drove but the sodding clocks went forward an hour!

Today I was up at 05.30 to drive 6 honours to see my mum on Mother’s Day. Well worth it and we even walked to the local art gallery .. about a mile despite her stroke in December…. Incredible woman!

You are superhuman!

And so is your mom. God bless her!

 

[Wonderer67]

A good romp followed by a frolic is divine!

Wait, I thought fricking and romping was discontinued? But traipsing is OK?

I’m so confused.

 

[Wonderer67]

Morning everyone. Week two of training begins today. I should be sleeping. First night in a hotel is always tough, at least for me. Hope you all have the best Monday possible.

Good luck! Hope you got some good sleep. Hotels are always dicey for me (sleep wise) as well.

Ice like that breaks off a lot of branches.

There was a time I traveled so much I got very accustomed to hotels. There were a few times I woke up and had to think about where I was.

Well, back to work after a really nice vacation, even though it was cut back a day.

Yesterday, we cut back and pruned all of the blueberry bushes and weed and put down pre-emergent near the beds.

It’s beginning to look like we have a vole problem in the backyard too…

Now back to my day job and a three week sprint of classes I’m doing as well as all the regular shit (aka meetings and corralling of people) I do. Sigh.

Same. IDK if I could actually shoot a person.

In extreme case I think I could.... let's hope I don't have to find out

How do you cook them?

Roasted yum...

But to some they taste like dirt and I get it.... they are a love em or hate em veggie
