Monday Stuff On the Way to Other Stuff: TAXES

 This is us.

Papers are everywhere, and the Brick is earnestly staring at the computer screen, announcing numbers and asking questions.  ("Where did you put the mileage figures?") I'm typing this at 1 a.m. Tuesday morning. But federal taxes are allllmmmost done -- and state taxes won't take that long. 

     We might make it to bed by 2 a.m. Maybe. We might look like this.

                            But at least the taxes will be DONE.

Guess what else is due this month? Property taxes. It's nice to know that the 'guvment, in spite of its many weaknesses, still knows how to stick it to you. Politely speaking, of course.

Meanwhile:

The ten scammiest people ever to make the '30 Under 30' list.  Forbes, you ought to be ashamed of your collective self.

A very strange set of UFOs glimpsed during a plane flight.  The creepiest part? The pilots, who, when queried, said they see the same performance "every night."

This Oklahoma superintendent should get a medal -- he tackled a school shooter, got shot in the leg -- and saved the lives of his students.

So... how come the "Black Lives Matter" people aren't screaming about the massacre of Nigerian Christians?  John Cleese wants to know...and so do I.

The world is going to end a whole lot sooner than thought -- according to scientists, that is.  (I think we're supposed to be terribly worried.)

The man who dived the deepest.

Talking parrots -- and the dogs and babies they pester!



Have a great week. And if you're not done yet with your taxes, rest up. You're going to need it.
