KIRO7 producer learns the hard way...

Apparently, she signed up to be part of a pilot program monitoring for the 'pay-by-the mile' program the state wants to institute because, while they pushed for cars to have better gas mileage, they didn't really realize that it would mean less gas tax revenue

So, going into this, the producer knew they are doing this to raise more money 'cause, well, it's not bringing in as much as they're used to spending, so they want more money...

After using it for awhile, they're in her car with a camera as she's done driving, and she looks at the monitoring device and says,

" Wow, I didn't know doing it this way would cost me more money!" LOL!!!

What a dumbass, that's the whole point.

The mileage covered under the gas tax would have cost her $7+, and under the new pay by mile tracker, it would be $11+

Hey now, putting more than one thought together to come up with a cohesive argument is heresy. Stop it...

Cold is the absence of heat. There comes a point where you can't have any less heat, absolute zero. Virtually unlimited energy can be used to produce virtually unlimited heat. The more energy, the hotter it gets.

I see stupidity/ignorance and intelligence the same way. At a certain point, you just can't get any smarter..for example, theoretical physicists wrapping their heads around the most intricate details of the universe...

On the other hand, there is no limit that can be put on stupidity/ignorance. Almost infinite energy can be put into almost infinite stupidity/ignorance.

Back from my tax man....

Overpayed my taxes by $1k for 2017

My ortho and implant will be a partial write off.

Picked up a 1 litre bottle of Oban Little Bay small cask single malt yesterday in the duty free shop at the Toronto airport. Spendy but having the exchange rate helped.

-Dad's retirement party is tomorrow so I'm taking a 3 day weekend

-Wife is making Bulgogi for dinner (one of my favorite Korean dishes)

-About to pour a whiskey

-Kid is happy and playing without screaming

-Installed about 350 square feet of flooring today at $4 per square for labor making it a $1400 8 hour day that really wasn't too rough

Life is good.

Congratulations to your dad.
Love Bulgogi
On the rocks or straight up?
$1400 could buy you a new gun(s)

That about covers it....:)

Thanks brother!
On the rocks, enjoy the flavor of the whiskey so letting the ice melt in a little just prolongs the enjoyment for me.
That money is on the books (wife knows about it). However I have a $4k job coming up in a couple weeks that Uncle Sam and the IRS (and my wife) may or may not know about. See you in Puyallup late April?

Monroe in May.....
I will have some "close out" deals that will blow you away.

I don't usually make it to Monroe but if that's the case, see you there

M's win the opener....

Cruz pops one out o the park against last year's American League Cy Young winner.

Celebrate while it lasts.

Great game. While I have high hopes, I'm also a realist. The second series usually sets the tone for the rest of the season.

Telling the boss, no not everything is solved by calling a meeting.
