Who? Why?

Alas, tragedy struck. My wife was driving to the mall yesterday and passed a pile of feathers on the side of the road where we saw the owl the previous evening. She turned around and went back to double check and it was, indeed, the poor creature. I see lots of road kill around here, primarily raccoons, possums and armadillos. Not sure why seeing an owl killed made me feel sad for it, but I was.
DSL comes to us on Monday. I have all the equipment ready to go. Hope it turns out to be as trivial a process as they claim. Of course it never is. Gotta string some cables this weekend, find a place to plug in the Wi-Fi distribution point. Finish the taxes, too. I’m pretty much done, but I have to check my work one more time, then print it all out for the files and then e-file. I’ll be so glad to get that stack of papers and envelopes off the floor and into a proper file where I can forget about it. When I lived in Switzerland, the government knew so much about you that you didn’t have to file any tax returns. I didn’t mind that at all.
