Black & White Sunset

Sunset

Had to work all week-end, so no time for new photos. This one is from my April trip to the on the Florida panhandle. B&W film scanned to digital.

Work, work, work. Wedding this weekend, but looking forward to two self-imposed photo projects over Memorial weekend.

Nothing even to get outraged over, except where my taxpayers' dollars are going.

Federal Taxes - Bankruptcy court allowed United Airlines to dump its pension program payout onto me, the federal taxpayer. The system is an estimated $12 billion in arrears, meaning the "insurance" premiums that companies with pensions pay into it aren't enough to support the system. Guess how they will make up the difference (Social Security, anyone?) Plus, how is this NOT encouraging Delta and the other struggling airlines to declare and dump their pensions, too? If a Delta stockholder might see a profit by letting the government (and the tax payers) pay pensions, why wouldn't he want that?

County Taxes - Oh, yeah, and Brian Nichols? The "accused" in the Fulton County court shootings last March? He pleaded "not guilty". WHAT? I don't even know why he's allowed to plead. How can you get more reliable witnesses than by shooting/killing people IN A COURTROOM?!? I can't even believe my county tax dollars go towards paying for that trial.
