I started out yesterday morning to pay a few of Mom’s bills that have come in since she passed away but I ran out of checks for her account. After Tracey left for work I went over to the trailer and spent about an hour going through some of the stuff looking for another book of checks. I also gathered up a big jar of pennies and some other caches of change. I had already accumulated the cash Mom had on hand to pay the lawn guy, her purse, etc.
I took all that to the bank and deposited it in her account and then returned home to pay the bills. The bill that started all of this sort of caught me by surprise, a tax bill from the county for her trailer. I had forgotten that the great state of Illinois draws extortion money for trailer homes.

This pipeline will have the same tar sands that the controversial XL pipeline will have and it is quietly being built right through central Illinois. It will pass less that 10 miles east of where we live. Nothing scary about that?

The math of why bigger pizzas are such a good deal is simple. A pizza is a circle, and the area of a circle increases with the square of the radius.
So, for example, a 16-inch pizza is actually four times as big as an 8-inch pizza.
And when you look at thousands of pizza prices from around the U.S., you see that you almost always get a much, much better deal when you buy a bigger pizza.
