Any chance of a couple of paragraphs of out of order thought provoking text?

At least give him until after Tax Day! Have you ever imagined what must go into RFC's Schedule C? I mean, depreciating a PICA is a nightmare and then there is over in the Honorverse where he spends Super-Dreadnaughts like water. Then if you look over at the "Heirs" and expense Planetoids ... shudder! :roll:

Just glad I wasn't drinking anything when I read this! I stopped thinking liquids coming out of my nose was funny 50+ years ago. :lol:

I'd love to see how Bahzell & Walsharno would handle an agent of the Infernal Revenue Service. :twisted: :twisted:

Guys, the ideal Infernal Revenue Service Agent is Victor Cachat, only meaner. Just imagine him sitting in RFC's Dining Room with the softly red-glowing IRS laptop and asking; "Now about that casualty loss at San Martin ..."! Meanwhile his minion, the Imp of the Perverse, George, is canvasing the neighbors about the family's spending habits. :twisted:

Nah, Victor is "too nice" to be an Infernal Revenue Agent. :twisted: :twisted:

Just went back and checked the main page of this site. DW tweeted on 4/9 that he was half done with HFQ. Continuing at that pace (given where he was in early March) would mean a submission about June 1, which would put release at TOR's mercy, but given the experience of LAMA, probably Feb 2015.

That might be optimistic, but David has been quite prolific in his writing.

Still, we can and should grovel for new snippets, just to let him know how anxious we are for anything more he deigns to give us.

It always amazes me that such tyrannical organisations as HMRC and IRS can attract civilised people to their employ.

Our schools are failing us as they do not sufficiently discourage young people from ever joining government service.

Or... NOT work for the state, even though that is who their employer is...
