YELLOW CHIPPEROON
Your compete MICRO*scope for today

You are the type of person who keeps a detailed record of your wondrous shopping experiences in a daily journal. Family and friends always look to you to brighten their days with your cheery smile. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time at a garage sale wanting to buy either a weathervane with a cow on top or a box of multi-colored, plastic paper clips. Be on the lookout for celebrities who speak directly to you through your television. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter V, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 052622. Your preferred shopping venue is shopping malls. Your special symbol is the asterisk (*).

Paying TAXES

The time has come to take a firm stand! The Shady Valley Gazette Tribune-Journal has published an inflammatory editorial calling for a "pedestrian" tax on anyone who ambles around the economy. This tax, as every pedestrian would surely agree, is misguided and short-sighted. It's also unfair and probably unconstitutional. How DARE the editors of the Shady Valley Gazette Tribune-Journal call for a "pedestrian" tax. Sure they argue that ambling pedestrians should help pay for the sidewalks, traffic signals, and other assorted public goods. But, it's certainly not in MY best interest as a pedestrian to pay this misguided, short-sighted, unfair, and probably unconstitutional tax.
