                               Death and Taxes

There are only two certainties in life, death and taxes.

And today, taxes are due.

Yes, I realize it's not April 15^th [1], the traditional date that Uncle Sam
holds out his hands least he release the [DELETED-hounds-DELETED] IRS
(Internal Revenue Service) [2] but September 15^th.

Most people here in the US (United States) have their employers do the
withholding (form W-2) and only have to square away once a year. But if
you're self employed (or considered self employed, like I am) then you have
the privilege of making estimated tax payments four times a year to Uncle
Sam.

Aren't I lucky?
