Happy Flag Day 2010

June 14, 2010

Some of my neighbors have U.S. (and Texas) flags flying year round, but for the rest of the country that's not so banner happy, today offers the perfect reason to display the Stars and Stripes.

Yep, it's Flag Day again.

Since I've been blogging, I've have a special Flag Day post. It's not because I'm not an overt nationalist; I'm not.

And I usually talk a bit about how many states exempt the purchase of U.S. and their state flags from sales taxes.

But June 14 also is special
to me because it was my late
brother's birthday.

So on Flag Day 2010, I say hail to the Grand Old Flag of America and remember my little brother.

Hello Tax Season 2026

Happy New Tax Year! Are you ready to file your 2025 tax return? I know, too early to ask. But Tax Day 2026 will be here before we realize it. The Internal Revenue Service deadline to file and pay any tax we owe is the regular April 15 date this year. It’s also Tax Day for most of the states that collect income taxes from their residents, which is most of the states! If that seems too far away right now, don’t worry. As is the case every tax season, the ol’ blog’s tips and other tax reminders should help all of us meet our state and federal responsibilities. Procrastinators also will want to keep an eye on the countdown clock just below. It tracks how much time we have until April’s Tax Day, just in case we put off our annual tax task until the absolutely final hours and decide we need to instead get an extension request into the IRS by that date. (Note: I’m in the Central Time Zone, so adjust accordingly for where you live.)
