I was glued to my cozy chair during the entire story! I enjoyed the characters and found both the dialogue and the plot of this fantastic story a real edge of your seat kind of read from cover-to-cover! (A Highly Recommended Novel!)

Taxe$$$$ @!#%

[IMAGE] I did my taxes last night and went to bed mumbling about the frightening sum I owed Uncle Sam.

This morning I packed the Durango and headed off to the range. You see I have a tradition. After I complete the annual mugging and pilfering for April 15, I exercise my Second Amendment rights and blow plenty of holes in targets down range.

This year was heavy on the .45 ACP. I think I went through about 350 rounds, employing my Tommy Gun and full size Glock. I followed it up with some.357 Magnum and 9mm.

While the sound and the fury did not reduce my tax bill (grrrr), it did temper my outlook.
