To me it is sad to hear that a man was so terribly desperate with his tax problems that he felt that he had to burn his house down and then crash into the local IRS building. Taxes have always been a big issue in people’s lives, something that I guess we will always need to deal with. These are scary times, what with the economy in such a mess and now that it is tax time I’m afraid we will be hearing more stories like this one.

I’ve heard that 49 of the 50 states have received snow this year. Isn’t that something. We are being told to watch out for Monday’s rain, that will cause some major flooding issues with so many people. Not only the roads are going to be a mess, but there is going to be a lot of basements filling up with all the water that will happen to find it’s way in there. This has been one wild and crazy winter season and I’m more than ready for spring!

Well, I heard that the groundhog saw his shadow and ran back into his little den.  The theory is that if he sees his shadow and is frightened by it and goes back into his den then we will have six more weeks of winter.  I don’t really think it is his shadow that scares the little guy!  Good grief, all of the press and officials and party-goers there gathered around to see him is enough to scare any little critter!  I think we should leave the little guy alone for crying out loud!  We ought to be smart enough to know that if it is a sunny day then anyone would see their shadow and just call it good!  No point in the harassing a poor little groundhog over it!

It seems that January 28th is National Kazoo Day. I never heard of National Kaz0o Day, but then what do I know. So I decided to google “national days” and found a complete list that was most useful and interesting. I cut and pasted January’s national days to post here, maybe you will learn something as well.
