Io is more than just a moon of Jupiter

It's the Ides of April, tax day, when we render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's. (Although I rather thought we covered that on the Ides of March.) I think of the IRS as a protection racket--paying money in the vain hope they will leave me alone. My understanding of government is considered primitive by some. But I have learned to take my civic duties seriously, and no longer try to deduct my purchase of helium as an entertainment expense, or claim my PBS station as a dependent. My little rebellion is to procrastinate as long as possible--the 1040 will go into the mail just before bedtime.
