| I have put 9000 miles on my car since the July 4th weekend.
No wonder I'm tired! That's over 4000 miles a month!
Since I spend so much time in my car, I'm really glad that the weather
is cooling off. I can make much better use of my time if I can treat my
car as a rolling office. It has just been too hot to sit in the car and
work when I have those hunks of time that are too short to go home.
Today while I was waiting for an appointment I was reading Flat tax Revolution . (see below) I have become more sure the last few years that something
has to be done about our tax code. I had seen some of the
research from the Heritage Foundation that Forbes uses in this book,
and it seems to me that the flat tax has many advantages.
As I read more of this book, I'll pass a few gems along.
--This is how confusing our nine million PLUS word tax code is:
(btw, the Bible only has about 773,000 words)
In 1997 Money magazine gave 45
expert tax preparers a return to fill out on behalf of a fictional
family. The experts came up with 45 different answers for the amount
this family owed Uncle Sam. No one else came up with the same answer Money had, and the answers varied from a few hundred dollars to over $50,000. How's that for vague and confusing?

| AARRRGGHHH!!
I am having an extremely frustrating time trying to get our wireless
network set up so that Bethany and I can be on line at the same time.
Until it is set up and working we are sharing a computer--which is on
my desk--and since one of her classes involves a tremendous amount of
internet work, I have been mostly displaced. (I'd cook a gourmet
dinner for anyone who could figure this out for me!)

| I had this snarky blog all planned out in my head that I was going to
write tonight, but I'm just in too good a mood. Some people get
endorphins from exercising. I think that I get them from meetings:
board meetings, committee meetings, whatever.  So now that I went to a Bach Collegium board meeting tonight I'm in a good mood.
What was making me snarky?
A conversation that I overheard today while I was out running errands.
I heard a woman say, "This is what we get for electing a racist,
mysoginist #@%&@$%, death and destruction in New Orleans."
WHAT?!?!?!?! 
SO I'll write about that tomorrow. I don't have any meetings so I surely won't be in this good a mood.

| Okay, so I've decided that I'm using both blogs for now. They just have different purposes.
I'm going to concentrate on homeschooling stuff on the other blog and use this one for the rest of me.
But for tonight I'm just going to bed.
