Fun Facts About Valentine’s Day
Gray Must Be The Default
I have a gray car and so does everyone else. I can’t tell you how many times I have stood in a parking ramp unable to find my vehicle without pressing the key fob to make the lights flicker to give me a hint.
On two occasions I have gotten into someone else’s car because they both looked like mine. It was only upon seeing the Mexican blanket in the front passenger seat that gave one of the cars up and the other smelled of smoke so I was tipped off before I got too comfortable.
Because I have a grey car I don’t have to wash my car as much and I am less likely to be pulled over. Want to know what color car will get you ticketed?
It’s an interesting theory that a red car gets you pulled over more often than other colors. Alternatively, many people think having a white vehicle lets you get away with all kinds of traffic violations. As this article reports there is no studies that support the assumption that a red car gets you pulled over more often. The truth is if you speed or drive erratically you will probably get pulled over, regardless of what color your vehicle is.

I just recently finished my taxes on one of those online tax prepare sites. I haven’t gotten my refund yet but expect in another 6 weeks or so depending on which email, website, or chart you believe. Not one of the dates are the same so I have decided I am going to think about other things.
If I had done better in math in high school I might consider a class so I could become a tax preparer. Sure it’s intense work for the first four months of the year but after than the stress level has to taper off a bit.
I actually was an ‘accountant’ for a while, I did payroll and tax prep for my bookstore until I realized the cost of hiring a company to run my numbers was a better way to run my business. I use quotes because I wasn’t a real accountant. I played one on TV maybe but there was no way I could have ever passed tax preparer certification. Say what you want about accountants…they are boring, focused only on numbers and are even cold…the truth us they provide a service most of us shouldn’t be doing ourselves.
