“So what would the Brownstoner.com 10 Commandments be? :-)”
1. Thou shalt not post on any other blog.
2. You shall have not other blog other than this open on your computer.
3. You shall not take the name of brownstoner in vain.
4. Remember to post 5 days a week, and take the weekend to visit the Flea.
5. Honor brownstoner.
6. You shall not kill your landlord.
7. You shall not commit adultery by visiting other blogs.
8. You shall not steal to be able to afford the HOTD.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor when they don’t file their renovation with DOB.
10.You shall not covet your neighbor’s brownstone and original details.
Back on crazy taxes. Just looked at the e-ticket for my flight back to NYC on Thursday night. These are the additional fees & taxes:
U.S. Immigration User Fee: 7.00
U.S. APHIS User Fee: 5.00
U.S. Federal Transportation Tax: 21.02
U.S. Flight Segment Tax: 7.40
U.S. Security Service Fee: 2.50
Canadian Security Charge: 7.60
Canada Airport Improvement Fee: 23.80
Canada Goods and Services Tax: 15.61
U.S. Passenger Facility Charge: 4.50
I especially like the idea of paying $7 for the privilege of waiting in line & having my passport fed through the scanner.
