Taxed! The Liberty Man tells me that it is going to happen again

Damn! It's that time of year again - tax time. I know, because I spotted the Liberty Tax Man freezing at the side of the Parks Highway yesterday, just before I went to the Statehood Celebration. I took a picture quick, without looking through the viewfinder, then drove on. I don't know what he's got on under the Uncle Sam costume, but he has no protection for his ears. It's true, the temperature had warmed up dramatically from what it had been, to about zero degrees F (-18 c), but even at that temperature, one's ears will get cold sooner or later.

Especially when a big semi-truck roars by, and blows its wake upon a poor tax mascot who stands by the road with bare ears exposed.

The tax mascots will be out doing a lot of dancing between now and April 15. 

Sometime between now and then, I will stop and talk to one or two of them. 

But not soon. In less than a week, I leave for DC. I have much to do between now and then.

I do not have time to keep this blog, but I am going to keep it anyway.

One photo a day, maybe two; possibly three. I will try to keep it to one.

I won't say much. Just a little bit.

Until I get to Washington, DC.
