In spite of the snow cover that cam with yesterday's storm, this is still a great place to live.  I only went out once yesterday to walk Sugar and that was it. We had planned to go to the movies to see North by Northwest, but the weather was not good for driving, so we didn't go.  Oh well, there is always another day.  Today, I will have to walk Sugar this morning and this afternoon go to the doctor for my knees.  However, since the doctor is in the afternoon and Sugar doesn't need to walk until later in the morning, it won't be a problem.  I listened to the news this morning on the radio, and it is amazing that the politicians want to spend more on road repairs, but they 'won't' raise taxes to do it.  Instead, they want to raise fees for vehicle registrations and the like.  What would the Bard have said, "A tax by any other name still smells the same."  Just tell it like it is.  If the roads need repair, then tell people that that is one of the things that government does, and it has to be paid for, stop trying to hide additional revenues in 'hidden fees', call them what they are, tax increases.  Do they really think we are that dumb.  Yeah, I guess they do.  Oh well, time to go.
