Okay, I guess it's time for me to confess something.  You may have thought
I was a pretty well-behaved person.  I would allow you to continue
operating under that delusion (if you ever did :-) but the time has come
for me to pay up. 

Literally, pay.

I had a letter, addressed to my business, New Haven Computer Company,
waiting I got home this past Thursday night. It was from the Connecticut
Department of Revenue Services.  We all know what that means, and it does
NOT mean "service". 

I really, honestly, did not know that I owed any back taxes.  As it turns 
out, however, they had written to inform me that I have been a tax 
delinquent since... 1993!

They informed me (on April 4) that I have to pay the entire amount by 
April 30, 1996 or they will take the following steps (capitalization 
theirs): 

They will execute a tax warrent as authorized under State Statute 12-162.
They will file a violation of code form against me with the Secretary of 
   State (I presume they mean the *State* Secretary of State).
They will execute a lein against the company property for the amount 
   owed, plus all collection and recovery costs.
They reserve the right to confiscate any personal property they determine 
   to have been used in the operation of New Haven Computer Company.
Any and all licenses issued by the city to operate a business enterprise 
   will be WITHHELD or REVOKED, and
They will publish the names of delinquent taxpayers in the New Haven 
   Register.

TAX YEAR         BASE TAX        INTEREST       TOTAL DUE

I'm such a bad boy!

P.S.
  Yes, the rest of The Lunch Crew did hear about this already.
  I made sure of that!
