Howdy, super blog friends. Sorry Bugwit has not posted for a week. He's had his head buried in doing his taxes. But before he can do his taxes, he has to do his bookkeeping for 2006. Then he can do his corporate taxes. And state corporate taxes and then his personal federal taxes and then his personal state taxes. Fuck! It enough to turn a man Republican! I need a study break!
Last week, I got an e-mail from an old friend of mine saying, "Hey, we're coming into town next week, can we stay at your place?" Of course the answer is absolutely yes, but now we get to clean the house, do the spring landscaping and all the little fix-it stuff around the house we've been putting off. Ive heard that some people do that even when guests AREN'T coming, but those people are show-offs.
Well, it will be good to see my friend and his wife and 12-year-old girl again. We saw them last summer for the first time in ten years. If you've read Never Dance with the Commanders' Wife, You'll recognize him as the the South African guy with the razor-sharp wit. Oh, yes, and their little girl, who is a sweet as can be (really!), wants to go to the Renaissance Fair. Gonna get my joust on. Hmmm...
So, here's to early tax preparers and those that keep the house in ready-to-visit condition at all times: I hate you.
Do you keep the house ready to go? Do your taxes early? Or do you need something to prod you?
And speaking of prodding and taxes, I just found this picture. Where do you suppose they put the meter? What's the measure used for taxation purposes.? Is it a user fee, a proportional tax, a luxury tax, a sales tax, an extraction fee? Is it progressive or regressive? Do you pay as you go? Where do you file the forms? I really want to know!
