Correction y taxes

OK, so I was wrong. Based on my description, Kate tells me that although it may look amazingly like the red flower plant, what I really have is an oxblood lily. Otherwise known as Rhodophiala bifida. Wow, that's a mouthful. Apparently, they're hearty and tolerate abuse - much like folks who live in trailers during tornado season.

I spent last night preparing my taxes. Which meant finding all my receipts and bank statements and such. Mind you, I didn't actually do my taxes - that's a task for tonight. I drove around at lunch yesterday looking to buy a copy of Turbo Tax. I couldn't believe how many places were sold out. Thankfully, Costco wasn't one of them. And they even had them on sale - $38 bucks. And people question why I spend $50 a year for the privilege to shop there. Sheesh - if you buy the 5-pak of Turbo Tax, you'd have saved more than the membership fee right there.

Btw, the 71 gallon Eco Composter is on sale this week. It kinda looks like the Death Star of organic waste.

You know you can access TurboTax online? No driving around, no waiting for gratification, no disk and box to store afterwards. It's the low tech, low environmental impact way of Turbotaxing.
