This is My 200th Post. Now I've Added Labels

Shirra taught me how to label posts. Yes, it only took me two years and two hundred posts to learn this.

Most of the posts are about general New Paltzy things, of course, but there are repeat items mentioned thruout, like the fire department, my Smart Car, and shopping.

Looking ahead, it's hard to conjure up what the next 10 posts are going to be about, let alone the next 200, but here's one guess: taxes. That's because the way things are going, taxes are going to go up everywhere, but to make matters worse, fire departments everywhere are losing members. Perhaps this is due in part to many of the newer (and younger) members having to work extra jobs, which takes them away from their volunteer work. Whatever the case, if New Paltz's fire department goes pro, every resident of the town and village will see their taxes shoot up several hundred dollars on average as the department costs would rise from about $600,000 to about ten times that amount.

Start saving those pennies.
