Remember to wipe the mud from your feet
How much do we trust or government? An example; someone asked about how to get their property taxes reduced (there is a procedure). The best comment was that one shouldn’t draw attention to your current situation, in case “they” take a second look and raise your evaluation in consequence. And suddenly, there you have it. We don’t trust the system, or the process, or any part thereof. Most of us just try to stay under the radar. It’s like when you have something tasty from the fridge, and you don’t want the dog to know. His ability to flair out goodies is equaled by that of the taxman.
We’re in one of those warm spells; the Humidex is riding 40, and the a/c is running full tilt. Outside – who goes there? Even the dog is limiting his exposure to the great outdoors. I know, we have things easy, here on the coast. I’d hate to be elsewhere.
With the drop of the writ only days away, the ads on social media are in overdrive. It’s funny how (in a world where ads can be sent to those most deserving), I’m getting content from parties that I have never (no, not ever) voted for. They know where my choice will go. Is this just laziness on the part of their teams? I’m not keen on the next five plus weeks. It will reaffirm my personal belief system, but I’m going to have to wipe the virtual mud from my feet every single day. I could sling some of it back, but that would be falling into the trap.
