Morning LSU, how you feeling?

Much better thank you.

[LSUFAN]

Sheesh!

Good morning Native, Scott and BD.

[Travellin Dave]

Morning Chip, Dave, Fish and BD.  Lazy morning for sure.

Morning Dave, BD. I think I just heard an echo

Good morning, gentlemen.

I got to go vote NO about 52 times today.  The new word for more tax is Proposition and the ballot is loaded up with them from The City, County, Water Supply and Schools and I can't stand anymore tax in my budget.

I'm really getting sick of our tax.  We just had a recent vote stating that we only pay 8.6% local tax, and they only want to raise it .25%.  It's only a temporary tax that will only last for 25 years.  Then they threatened that if the tax isn't raised, they will just attach it to the property tax.

I know what you mean.  We don't have state or local income tax but property taxes are like paying sales tax on your house every year and 65% of it is school tax.  Hard to swallow when the high school (only one in the district) just built a $20 million football stadium and then put a $480,000 jumbo-tron tv in it.  Now say they had a $2 million deficit this year and need more $.  And then there is our water rates, my water bill runs $150-200 a month.

Morning Dave, you need a lazy travel free Dave, or a Dean Day as we might call it.  Just read a claim they are hiding an Ebola patient in the Greenville Hospital so stay out of there!

Good morning, gentlemen.

In 1962, a naval quarantine of Cuba ordered by President John F. Kennedy went into effect during the missile crisis.

I remember this just like it was yesterday.  Duck and cover drills at school everyday.  The nightly news showed the U.S. Warships blocking Cuba.  The news papers covered with spy plane photos of the nuclear missiles pointed towards the United States. That's what I actually expected to see when President Bush invaded Iraq.

And the civil defense emergency supply canisters in public places.

I pay two state taxes and my property taxes are out of control too.  I have probably the smallest lot in my town (32 x 100) and I pay just under 12K a year.

That is about exactly what I pay but my lot is 90 x 150.  Ours is based on house sq footage, about 20% more in the city of Austin but 30% less across the county line 10 miles down the road.

My uncle had an old house that he decided to have removed.  Later when he received the tax bill, it' had gone up.  He called the tax assessor and inquired why did his taxes go up...?  They replied, "it was due to the improvements he had made to the property."

I do try to make it a point to stay away from hospitals.  Ebola is the least of my worries.

I never seen the supply canisters, but I do remember see all of the Civil Defense Shelter Signs.
