Spring animals that drive the dog crazy!

Turkey Dance and Taxes

I watched this turkey dance.

What is his problem?

No female in sight.

Caught on the road in Madera Canyon.

In the middle of the road.

So what does he think of April 15, Tax day?

Americans pay less taxes than any other western country.

NPR "47 % Americans do not pay income taxes".

Americans pay less taxes this year than they did the last 8 years.

So why are taxes the "F" word of Americans?

We have a failing education system, a deteriorating infrastructure, a health care system that still doesn't meet the needs of all Americans, parks and environmental concerns are not being met. Az closes most freeway rest stops and state parks.

IMO this is NOT the time to decrease taxes.

Quality of life costs us all.

Separated by only a short wall. My neighbor's roses provide all the beauty for me with none of the work. Click on photo for full beauty.

Same kind of cactus - 3 different colors

Movie Review

I know. I have nagged you enough about not seeing "Animation". My spouse always says "You want me to see a cartoon?". Just try it, folks. A good one to start with is "How to Train Your Dragon".

AND see it in 3D. No, you won't look weird in the glasses and even if you did, everyone is wearing them. I took my friend's daughter, age 40. It was her first 3D movie and she loved it.

This movie is visually amazing with great animation of the Vikings and the dragons. And a good story. Hiccup, a young Viking not keen on fighting dragons, finds that by being sympathetic to them he can turn them into helpful companions.

IMO 4****
