No photo today. I don't have a picture of a pile of merde. Perhaps I could find a photo of the Gouverneur and Connecticut's legislative body. That would be best.
Oh my gosh, just reading the list of new taxes for us dumbbells who still live in Connecticut. It is more outrageous than I realized. Check out the story on the front page of The Bulletin. The best tax is a cremation certificate which was $40 ( I had no idea you had to get a cremation certificate from the state!) is now $150. We'll have to institute a Plainfield bonfire which can be kept in constant readiness and just throw the corpses on it. Periodically the ashes can surreptitiously be dropped in the Moosup River where they will be gently carried out to sea by way of the Quinebaug, Shetucket and Thames Rivers. Alas it may not help the doomed citizenry because the State Legislature will give union jobs to new hires to dredge for the remains in the Atlantic and charge a dredging fee before the muddied ashes are carted off to be sanitized at the Sterling tire burning plant where the remains will finally be allowed to go up in smoke to the Promised Land. They can't possibly go to hell because they've lived in Connecticut all their lives and have therefore paid the entry tax for heaven. I imagine that many bars and lounges will no longer have live music or dancing. Why would lounge owners want to pay a 3% cabaret tax? Let the customers take their music, dancing and exotic pleasures to the local parks then the legislature can hire more police/taxmen to collect the cabaret tax from each individual who is enjoying himself. The least Connecticut could do is allow legal bordellos and opium dens which they could tax to the max. Middle child has already received instructions from THE STATE to take inventory on all beer, wine and liquor on hand and send the bastards all appropriate taxes on the stock. There are so many more taxes it will be surprising if I don't get a tax bill for blogging. In THE STATE'S infinite wisdom the taxes on electricity, which were already the highest in the country, are going up. What wonders the voters of Connecticut have wrought. Perhaps by 2012 Connecticut will be a ghost state and taxes will no longer be a concern. The diesel fuel tax will only be 46.2 cents a gallon. What a break! I'd better stop here before I get sick and have to go out and buy some nonprescription drugs and pay the latest, greatest tax. But, egads, if I buy today and I buy a lot of over the counter drugs I may beat the system that goes into effect tomorrow!

The house on Meadowwood where the guy with the 55 Chevy lived is up for $240k. Huge lot and a large shop as well.
Too expensive but still tempting!
It's got 5 acres and a clear back yard.
Ideal for flying control line!!
