It's Tax Time Again

I just wonder...does seeing someone standing on the side of the road in a doofy costume make you want to have that business prepare something as important as your taxes?

One very important thing is accomplished, however...I am more and more thankful for my job!

Quote of the Day: Louis Pasteur

Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity.
~Louis Pasteur (1822-1895)

The Beach Last Evening

It was terribly windy last night. Still is, for that matter. But the clouds were just lovely.

It's so loud down with the wind howling and the waves hitting by that you don't hear any civilization. And if you look in just the right direction and squint a bit...you can miss the houses and imagine how awe-inspiring the Pacific must have been to Lewis and Clark when they first saw it.

Note to Self

Dear Self: Don't leave home without your camera. That's when you will find the perfect photo opportunity and the light will be spectacular. That's when the sun will be shining on the water, the animals in the fields (I was driving through a rural area) will be posing near the fences, and the old barns will be beautifully backlit.
