LOL, Rachel!  I remember being rather peeved at 16 when I discovered 
that I was paying taxes out of my paycheck before I was old enough to 
vote on what the government was going to do with the money.  But 
mostly, I just wanted my money back.

And now for something completely different.  I just got back from a 
grad-school shopping trip with my friend in Bloomington, Indiana, and 
have put up an itinerary of our day there.  If you want a few laughs,
