Well, tonight at midnight is your deadline to get your federal tax returns (or extensions) postmarked.
And don’t you know, but you’re not out of the hole yet. Tax Freedom Day is another 8 days away. What is Tax Freedom Day? If all of your income from January 1 had gone to the government until all of your taxes were paid, it would take until April 23rd before you could start working for yourself. Chew on that for a while.

Just happened across this ad:

In a brilliant attempt to appeal to Mexican consumers, they have alienated the entire American populace. I wonder if this will hurt them in the long run. Probably, at least I hope so. Any company that does such a stupid thing needs to be penalized.
In case you’re wondering exactly what I am talking about, anybody who condones such a violation of sovereignty of a country needs to be put out of business.

I participated in my umpteenth tournament yesterday, starting my 5th year in Warhammer 40k, and two things will always stand out on this one for me. The first, this is the first time that I ever had a losing record (1 win, 2 losses), but I won a new award, the Best Painted.
Now, I’m not under any illusions about my painting skill. It is a hair above average, but I put a lot of love into my models. My award did not come from my painting, but from the lack of painting of everyone else in the tournament. There is a scale that the judges go by, numbered one to nine. I always get 7 out of the nine, simply because I am completely painted, you can see who my HQ unit is, and several other points that I don’t remember. I know I will never get the last two points, nor the 10th point if there is more than one player who makes nine points.
So, now I have two Best Generals, three Best Sportsmans, and now a Best Painted. Now all I need to make is the Best Overall award.
