Everytime I turn around there's a new tax or something for the government to fleece citizens. Chicago is in talks to impose a tax on soft drinks. There's already a tax on cigs, candy & strip clubs. Let's not talk about the gas tax. I rarely buy anything in IL. I go to Indiana.

I got a ticket for my grass being too high on the easement. My front lawn is fine but the easement in the back which I don't see was apparently too high. No warning or anything. It's been overcast and raining on & off the past couple of days. Where is my warning telling me what the proper height should be? I didn't know I had to mow until I got warning. Since it is not my property, I thought the city took care of it. I was wrong.

I think as soon as property values come back up, I might move.
