The Statues Are Moving

By Neil, January 12, 2010 10:01 PM

It is time for preparing to file that tax paperwork again! People standing outside in freezing temperatures and wearing Statue of Liberty costumes signifies this. They wave to people passing by to entice them to use Liberty Tax Service to prepare their taxes.

Some of them are quite mechanical looking: slowly moving one hand back and forth and rotating their bodies as if they are lawn sprinklers. Others are quite enthusiastic about their job: jumping sporadically to make sure they catch the eye of everyone that passes by. Usually, I’ll chuckle at all of them, but the over animated ones will get me to laugh out loud.

None of them, unfortunately, will get me to use their service. It doesn’t work for the people advertising “Hot ‘n’ Ready Pizza for $6″ either.

The Arrival of Snow

The snow did arrive today. Travel was slow going, but not impossible. Hopefully, it will clear up a bit by the weekend.
