INCOMPETENCE TAX:
At the close of last year and the first days of this year, the price of gasoline gradually decreased. This price decrease was due to the perceived possibility of the U.S. becoming self sufficient through use of the drill here, drill now approach.
As the incompetence of this administration became apparent and when it also became apparent that drill here, drill now was dead for the present, gasoline prices started to rise.
Within the last two months, Linden purchased gasoline for almost a full dollar a gallon less than he will pay for it today. For the average driver, this means that roughly ten dollars a week more will be spent for gasoline than was true this short time ago. It is doubtful that you need to be told how much ten dollars a week means to the average U.S. driver and/or family. If it is a two car family, think twenty dollars a week!
It would not be wrong to think of your individual expense to be considered a tax on you necessitated by the incompetence of a number of those elected to high office in 2008. Did you do this to yourself?

LINDEN'S LIFE:
Busy day! First, Linden joined the usual Thursday morning group for a pleasant meal. Then, at 11:30 he attended the very nice “Golden Glows” luncheon. Mrs. Leslie Shaffer presented the program in the form of about twenty songs played on the marimba. She was greatly appreciated.
In the evening, Cheryl came by for the first time in a long time: she brought me some maple syrup: I love it! John then dropped by to say that he had the problem with the sewer lift station pump resolved. This was a good day.
ADVERTISEMENT 2:
Linden’s book “AN OLD MAN ON THE ST. JAMES WAY” ($6.95) addresses Linden’s thoughts and activities when, as a 75 year old, he crosses Northern Spain on the ancient pilgrimage trail.

“BOUT FIRTEEN COUNTRY CHILDERN RIMES” ($3.00) reminiscent of James Whitcomb Riley, these 20 poems with illustrations address the lives of four-year-old twins. It is written as they may speak.

Now that Linden’s 2009 sales have financed two goats for some of the needy in the world, his next goal is to fund the purchase of a water buffalo. Order at:
