VRBO My opinion on taxes is that they are not high enough on everybody. I have specifics but they are as unrealistic as your ideas. 💡

Creamation

“Cremation is my last hope for a smoking hot body” A popular meme with many creators. The photo was taken by my Great, Great Uncle J.C.Burrow at a church yard in Cornwall about 1900. I used it to demonstrate how the treatment of human remains has changed over time.

So I’m wearing my garage door opener.” Anonymous Photo is of a sunset in Healdsburg CA. I had walked up the road to try and get the lone cow photo shown yesterday and when I turned around I saw the real shot. Life is good.

Alcohol

“I don’t do alcohol anymore—I get the same effect just standing up fast.” Anonymous President Zalensky with his new troops. It is time for Congress to fund the fight against Putin.

Football

“Football combines the two worst features of American life: violence and committee meetings.” George Will
