Also Kind Of A Big Deal

A long-time aide to Bull Durham resigns? This is no doubt Deeply Meaningful, but what does it mean?

Here is the Hartford Courant lede:

Federal prosecutor Nora Dannehy, a top aide to U.S. Attorney John H. Durham in his Russia investigation, has quietly resigned — at least partly out of concern that the investigative team is being pressed for political reasons to produce a report before its work is done, colleagues said.

COVID delays, fear that if Trump loses any final report will be buried, and other speculation.

Henry and others on previous thread. Mass sales tax is 6.25%. It should be 5% as a statewide referendum passed years ago. But the legislature and gov just blew it off.

The use tax is a tricky issue here. I filed the taxes for years before my father died. He always gave me a piece of paper which included the use tax figure. It was always an amount under $40 or so. When he died, and I started figuring out the taxes, I concluded he just made up a figure to keep the DOR away. Since then I have heard of many other business owners being audited due to not paying the use tax. It’s just a shakedown. So I pay it personally as well. It pays to keep the DOR away!

No more shop or tax talk for me.

Miss M? Are their really kittens somewhere in your garage?

Thanks, Steph!

Today is my 28th Wedding Anniversary.

My, how time flies...

Celebrated by going to watch my son play a high school soccer game.

Then went to downtown Bloomington and knocked back a couple of Brickyards:

https://untappd.com/b/the-tap-brewery-brickyard/1000228

some wings, shrimpies, fries and fried calamari.

Pretty classy, high falutin fare for an anniversary date.

It was nice though.

We engaged in some Mask Theater in that we had to wear masks to buy our game tickets and walk to the stands.

Once in the stands though we could take off the masks and yell at the refs for ripping off our kids on calls.

Just like the good old days.

Had to don the masks again at The Tap to get a table outside but could then eat and converse just like the old days.

It was almost a return to normalcy.

I've really missed that.

Can't get Tech at FSU.

What network Steph? My son is a big time Seminoles fan but he is now in Wales:)

[MissMarple2]

ccgirl,

Yes. I heard them, and so did my daughter-in-law, so I am not having a Biden moment.

Plus the mother cat was as fat as a pumpkin and now she is skinny and HUNGRY.

I cannot imagine how she wound up there, except for the EMPTY CAN OF NINE LIVES CAT FOOD, the bowl of dry cat food, and the bowl of water.

Here in NE Florida, it is at least 3-1 Biden ads vs. Trump. Pretty well done considering it is equivalent to selling Honey disguised as vinegar. I have to laugh as Joe comes off as completely sane and in charge of all faculties. Would not surprise me all the vids are from 4 years ago.

The Unsolicited Mail In Ballot Scam is a major threat to our Democracy, & the Democrats know it. Almost all recent elections using this system, even though much smaller & with far fewer Ballots to count, have ended up being a disaster. Large numbers of missing Ballots & Fraud!

ABC Jack but it is in a lightning delay.

[henry]

Ccgirl, I get randomly audited by all 50 states... did your sales rep carry a laptop into our state? You owe us use tax! I hate out of state tax audit jerks... they don’t even know the tax law of the state they audit for. Since there are so many states, a half dozen a year show up demanding office space and unrestricted access to our sales data. (Presence of IP is nexus even in states where I have no current revenue, get audited anyway going back 10 years). Now applies to anyone who sells online.

shipwrecked says she's not a litigator, so she's leaving now that the research part is done to let somebody who knows how to win a case go to court.

The lockdown nonsense has just about killed our little struggling yacht club. It was in pretty lame shape before, but we are in the middle of an open revolt due to the pathetic gov Insole edicts compounded by our county health officer. The prog side of the club is insisting on following the rules to the letter for the once a week dinner situation. Last Friday the few who showed up could sit out on the deck and there happened to be two tables of four widows, who if they had moved inside because of weather, would have had to each sit at a table by themselves. (Family units up to four each per table.)

On top of all that, we have a pathetic manager (Karen!) who is paid about $65K/yr to poorly do about 10 hrs of work/wk. The Commodore has been trying to get her fired, or cut back to half pay (still more than she is worth), but the rest of the 'bridge' and other influencers are all hung up about doing anything 'evil'. Pfft! The back channel emails that crisscross amongst some of us are coming close to noses being punched.

I stay out of the direct interactions, but support Mrs MT when she lobs a grenade here or there. My main problem is that most of these clowns are drilling holes in the bottom of the boat to let the water out. We're already at about 150 memberships out of a max of about 200 and they are fretting about losing another 25 by the end of the year and I'm suggesting that they consider the high likelihood of losing 50 and should therefore do what that would require NOW and maybe saving it.

Looking at all the Trump boat, car and curb parades of Trump flags etc. Where is all the enthusiasm for Biden that puts him ahead in all the polls?

More fake news and fake polls and voter manipulation, IMO.

[MissMarple2]

Jack,

I agree. All of the dems are angry, sour, scary, etc. Who wants to hang around with them?

Trump and his supporters are happy, attractive, cheerful. People you WANT to be with!

Meanwhile, any time I say something pro-Trump on Twitter. I am called vile names and threatened.

This does not seem to me to be a good campaign strategy.

A man walked out into the street and caught a taxi just going by. He got in and the cabbie said, "Perfect timing. You’re just like Frank.”

Passenger: “Who?"

Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. He’s a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time.”

Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody.”

Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star, and you should have heard him play the piano. He was an amazing guy."

Passenger: "Sounds like he was really something special.”

Cabbie: "There’s more. He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everybody’s birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order, and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman could do everything right."

Passenger: "Wow, what a wonderful guy.”

Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong; and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished, too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman."

Passenger: "How did you meet him?"

Cabbie: “I never actually met Frank. He died, and I married his wife.”
