Misc. Ramblins

Yesterday I sat down and finished all my taxes. The good news is that I did it without a nose bleed. Last year I sat down and promptly got the worst nose bleed of my life. It is the only nose bleed I ever remember having. I was considering a trip to the emergency room for a while.

Since I have paid my taxes without being reminded I wonder if I will ever be considered for a gubberment job??????

Found an almost full box of staples in a box of stuff from an auction. That and the almost full box of staples I already have probably means I will never have to buy staples again. I wonder if this is one of the milestones of life I hear about every now and then . . .

I saw a couple articles in the newspapers about the cows again. It's the articles about them lining up north and south when the graze. This article was about them lining up east and west when they are near power lines. What does it matter? I thought getting that flatulence tax passed on cows was more important. Gotta save the world from cow flatulence, you know.

Saw the neatest stop sign the other day. It was the standard red, octagon sign. It had small red strobe lights on the perimeter of the sign and was solar powered. I like the concept. It is an attention getter.

I am now wearing the lineless bifocal type glasses. Had the lined ones for years. Got 'em last week. The only problem is getting the frames adjusted. My right eyelash sometimes touches the lens -- very distracting! Had one adjustment already that helps, but hasn't solve the problem. The eye exam is the first my annual body maintenance check-ups from now through May. The worst is usually the blood test. Don't care for needles. Sometimes I react badly and sometimes I barely react. Don't know why. I always tell the nurse this, then tell her that something must be wrong with her -- sticking people with needles all day. Maybe I should leave the last part out, but that is me.

For no particular reason, I put my spare photo card in my Kodak the other day. I finally found the photos I have been looking for since last summer! I had come to the conclusion that I had deleted them which didn't make sense because I was going to save several of them. I don't usually use that camera to take those types of photos. Who knows why I do what I do, I know I don't. Now if I could find the spare card for my Olympus . . . . last time I had it I remember telling myself to put it in an obvious place so I could find it . . . I'm still looking for it.

Hey, did you know that at five minutes and six seconds after 4AM on the 8th of July this year, the time and date will be 04:05:06, 07/08/09? I know I didn't. Who comes up with these things and why?????
