You know I-90? I'm on the other end.

Is that April 15 or the third Monday of April? Never mind, googling says third Monday in April. So on most years, Tax Day ? Patriots Day. I wonder if that is significant. Terrorists, both homegrown and other, love symbolism.

It was about taxation without representation. Something that the idiot Tea Partiers don't seem to get.

They HAVE representation. They'd have more of it if they would restrict the rights of corporations, but that current seem to have occurred to them, the idiots.

I'm ex-ATF and I live in Colorado. April pretty much sucks. It's not getting any better, either.

It occurred to me on Friday that the Waco and Oklahoma City anniversaries were coming up. I'd forgotten that Columbine is the 20th, though.

Man, I'm glad my kid's school of off this week.

MLK and Lincoln assassinations were on the 4th and 14th. The San Francisco earthquake was in April. And the Virginia Tech massacre. A month of shitty stuff indeed. I officially canceled it on my FB page. Everybody else can do what they want but April is done for me after this one.
