--> --> Posted Tuesday, April 23, 2002 Larry Berteau - Write On A not so ba-a-a-ad day at Tax Rock I'm a little light in the pockets but I survived. As in biblical times, I packed up the family, loaded the burro down with supplies, and went off to pay my taxes, rendering unto the IRS all that is the IRS's. April 11: At the (square) root of daylight time Daylight saving time was thought up by the British as an economy measure during World War I. My opinion on English economic matters is well-documented. (See "Write On" for Mar. 28 in The Tidings' archives under the "Columnists" button - about 1,000 words on the subject with homage to Pepsi thrown in for prosaic lubrication.)
