Place holder for today updated 1325Z

Because I mightn not get to a post later on today.

(My computer is set up to UTC)

Update.

I just paid my telephone bill and it came to $38.something. The bill itself is $35 and the rest of it is tax that was put in place to fund the Spanish-American war.

I'm pretty sure that bill was paid decades ago and IIRC the tax was supposed to go away after the bill was paid yet it didn't.

I wonder if we could create a big ballyhoo and make it go away.

I also wonder if I am going to win the lottery.
