There are only two certainties in life; this post is about one of them, and it's not death

Last night I was busy with cleaning up my past blog entries [1] when I happened to notice the date—April 15^th. And then I suddenly remembers—I need to do my taxes! Well, as I found out later, I have until the 18^th to file [2], but I always feel better if I'm able to get them filed by … well, technically, today.

Fortunately, my taxes aren't that hard and it only took about half an hour for me to fill out the 1040 form (I'm not a fan of electronic filing, but that's only because I know how the electronic sausage is made [3]), take the form to the post office and have it hand cancelled by the post master (okay, that last bit was done by Bunny since she was out running errands at the time).
