Tax Day: Post Office car line.

Perhaps it's a sign that the economy has turned around.  The line of cars was exceptionally busy, early.  Years ago when there was no electronic filing, the lines were so long there were tents and several postal employees going car to car to grab your returns from your car window.  It's obvious that most people simply file online.  But this year seems like a spike.

The almost midnight update: Well, it looks like traffic has been steady this evening, with the last rush of cars coming in, honking, causing a stir to get their spot in line to park.  The concession stand inside is open, which is entertaining in itself.

By the way, I'm specifically avoiding writing up an entire post about the Boston Marathon Bombings because the people who do these things, tend to bask in their inglorious acts, by taking in all of the expressions of sorrow, fear and anger, online and in the media.

Like the rest of you, the victims and all those affected are in the front of my thoughts and have my sympathies.  And a big middle finger to the people who caused this.
