Let me count the ways....

Oh Northern Virginia how I love you..... Let me count the ways....

1. I love that you are so over populated that my 13 mile commute somehow amounts up to 1 full hour and a quarter of a tank of gas.

2. I love how my taxes are supposedly spent on road improvements but my car seems to find a pot hole on every road I take.... My car thanks you as well!

3. I love that you not only tax us on every single thing but then allow cities to have their own tax as well! Great so I pay 2 taxes amounting sometimes up to 8%. (Arlington & Alexandria do this now, for all you locals.... look at your receipts)

4. I love that I drive by one of Virginia's finest police officer's going a mere 5 miles over the speed limit and I get stopped but yet the guy in front of me going a clear 20 over keeps on rolling. Thank you...

5. I love that we pride ourselves on having some of the best school systems in the country, yet times get a little tough and you lay off older experienced, educated teachers to replace them with young in-experienced college students who could careless about the children.... all for a little less pay.... Nicely done! Good call!

6. I love that when our Subway system has a major train crash the true concern was why the FBI was on scene. Forget the innocent lives that were lost or the people who were seriously injured.

7. I love that we have the best news reporter in the world... Pat Collins... Even to him rain is a tragedy it makes the evening news a pleasure to watch...If you don't believe this... here's a clip.... http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=1030193192888&ref=mf

8. I love how you can drive down the street and see a 2 million dollar Mc Mansion right next to a run down home that is up for foreclosure... Starting bid...$80,000.... Make sense of this....

9. I love how you told me last year I made to much money and you asked me to PAY taxes! Thank you for that... As if you didn't get enough out of each check... you needed more... Must have been for all those pot holes you've been planning to fix for 3 years now.

And finally....

10. I especially love how you felt that you were wrong in asking me to pay taxes. You must have felt I paid too much( I felt I did too) It was all MY pleasure to check the mail today and receive a check for over payment on taxes.... ALL $1.03 of it! Really... thank you!
