"Hi Tom,
Should make some good reading."

"My great grandfather was in the Klondike gold rush. He told stories of gold claims being salted and of shotgun salting of old mines. He made a good amount of money on his claims and when he came back to Washington he was smart enough to invest it in the Puyallup Valley land. Most of what is now auburn and several commercial sites used to be his. He bought it cheap and passed it down to his kids as investment property and they only sold a little at a time here and there. My Grandmother still has a good chunk left and now she is getting ready to pass it to my mom. the city of Puyallup wants to buy it but grandma ain't dumb. She knows if she transfers it to mom and they wait out our current economic slump they will get a better price. so some of those old Klondike claims are still paying off today,,lol

"Sounds like nothing changes. Look how all of our great leaders nominated by BO all are taxevaders. If we tried not to pay our taxes, guess where we would be - sketching graphitic on the jail wall (lol).
