STAYING HOME

Except for a possible motorcycle trip for a few days, it looks like we'll be in Lake Havasu for the next couple of months. No plans to take the house on wheels anywhere soon. Most of this week will be spent doing maintenance, cleaning, polishing, and fixing a few things on the motor home. We have been accumulating things for a garage sale, and finally picked the days of April 9-10 to hopefully get rid of most of it. What's left will go to one of the local thrift shops. One of the most immediate projects, is to do our taxes. The thought of spending several hours, doing something that is required by our federal government, is not the most satisfying thought at the moment. I have long since been of the opinion that the responsibility of taxpayers to support our huge federal government, should also require some responsibility in Washington D.C. It seems that lately, there is no responsibility, or common sense in Congress, and the spending on huge federal programs continues at an alarming rate. How long can this go on without consequences? I certainly hope that the voters aren't apathetic in November, and send a message that deficit spending is not OK. Other than my frustration with the politicians, it's good to be home.
