Good Morning Fellow EXer's! It is indeed a wonderful feeling to sit at the throttle of the Freedom Train once again! I must take a moment and thank the Ladies that do such a fantasic job here of helping us celebrate our milestones! They have made the Train an enduring monument to what is possible, and an important goal for those who are fighting the good fight in their quest to reach their first milestone!              

It is a rare day when the Conductors note show no milestones to celebrate! However that is the case today! If we are missing anyone, do not be bashful! Speak up, and come and take a seat of honor on this vehicles daily run to Freedom!

On Tuesday, I sent the IRS a check to pay taxes! It is a sobering event! It is no wonder that someone figured out a long time ago that you would not object so much to having them deducted from your paycheck! The idea being that once a year many will get a part of their own money back, and be happy about it! This year we will  pay an average of 29.2 percent of all income to fund the government! Unfortunately that is a mere fraction of what we pay, and an even smaller  fraction of what they spend! The are also hidden taxes. Like the ones we pay on a gallon of gas! Or the $3.00 and up that is paid on a pack of cigarettes! Three dollars! Four dollars and more! I remember buying a carton for two dollars! The good news is that I do not need to be outraged over that one! And neither do you! Because: We Don't Do That Anymore! Let us all give thanks for that little piece of Freedom!

Onward to better things! Tomorrow we will be having a HUGE bonfire that will be held at MistyDawns Blog! If you have never been to one of our bonfires, you should start getting EXcited about it now! Everyone shows up! The is food, and beverage, and music, and much jocularity! I am assured that the full resources of Freedom Train Inc. will be standing by to assist with transportation needs. That will include the Freedom Limo in case Giulia(or anyone else) should need a ride home! Everyone should calculate how many cigarettes we have not smoked since out quits began! Take the number of cigarettes you smoked per day and multiply by the number of day you have been quit! EXAMPLE: A pack a day for 100 Days would be 20 in a pack X 100 days. 20X100= 2,000! That is how many cigatettes you are contributing to the fire! The Freedom Dump truck will be picking up mine! Rumor has it that Nick Deemon will show up! I have promised to push him into the fire if he bothers my friends!

For today lets just all sit back and enjoy the view, as this marvelous Train make it's daily run to Freedom!

This Train is bound for Freedom from tobacco and smoking!

"IF YOU ARE NOT RIDING WITH US, YOU ARE MISSING THE TRAIN"

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tommy
