A kilogram of flesh
Last year’s Oklahoma County property-tax rate, in my particular sub-district, was 106.08; this year it’s going up a little more than a tad, to 113.44, which is the highest it’s been in a quarter-century, though barely more than it was in 2002, at 113.33.
This will push the tax on the palatial estate at Surlywood to just over $1000. (It was a shade under $900 last year.) The rate two years ago was 110.42.
Percentagewise, I’m getting about the same hit as Jerry “Iceman” Butler: about 11 percent. Then again, he’s in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which I’m not.

I just read your quote by Francoise Sagan about
“a dress has no purpose unless it makes a man want
to take it off.”
And then there was the thing about the shoes.
And all the womens’ legs.
Well I say, fling off that dress!
Was Francoise Sagan a cross dresser?
Enjoyed the thing about property taxes.
I thought it was very timely.

She was cross throughout much of her life, though I figure that was due to the drugs.

Oh I’m sorry! I thought Francoise was a man!
I must have been thinking about Carl Sagan.
I’m sorry.
I’m leaving now.
