Congratulations! The move people are considering here is to stop having tax withholding from wages and other payments. The trouble with that is that is next year you have to come up with the whole payment. The goal is to starve the government for cash but I doubt they'll be able to pull that off.

Last week when I set up the new compost bin I emptied the contents of the barrel composter into it (this is a base with wheels the barrel rests on so it is rolled over the wheels to tumble the contents). To restart it I needed some dry weeds that the wet kitchen scraps can start breaking down in. I pulled weeds and cut old plants in one of the canna beds and stuffed them into the barrel. I need to finish the weeding soon, but first I need to get some of the almost-organic fire ant bait to deal with several piles that have popped up around the house, including in that canna bed. The last time I got ant bites they seemed to have more uumph, making bigger blisters than usual. Best to avoid them.
