    What if...
    ...one of my greyhounds passed away at 0315 this morning?

    I think he had a stroke.
    Was making his way from the bedroom to the den and heard him fall.
    I carried him to a bed in the den.
    He seemed normal, but wouldn't move any of his limbs.
    As I was petting him, he raised his head a few times then sighed and stopped breathing.
    He was a good dog - we referred to him as the "Irish Setter of Greyhounds" - he wasn't the sharpest dog that ever lived.
    His name was Harley.

    Sorry to hear that. It sucks when you lose a pet as they're part of the family. I'm a Boxer guy and also had a Harley. Don't think the wife's ever letting me name one Honda. Harleys even got a monopoly on pet names when it comes to bikes.

    I really appreciated the time you spent with me yesterday. It's really strange when a dog dies right in your arms. Hopefully never a person does it, I suppose. That dog was luuuuucky to be owned by you and your wife.

    Paul - I should have given you the bungee cargo net thingy too.
    Great for securing stuff to the passenger seat!

    What if...
    ...the US imposed complete and total flat tax rates - if you get 'income' then you pay: 10% Fed, 5% state?

    One page tax code.
    Doesn't matter if you are a business, church, charity, whatever.

    Think of all the money the we could save by shutting down most of the IRS!!!
