It&#8217;s a long story, but in 2010, we had some unusual situations due to building a house and the finances associated therewith. So in the 2011 tax return, we got quite a large refund. We&#8217;re happy to have the money, but sad to have loaned the government interest-free cash.<\/p>\n<p><em>Image: Canon SX40 HS &#8211; Click to enlarge.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I have a couple of old Canon PowerShot cameras, both of which have their shortcomings. One is beat up from several drops and the other has a malfunction in the download software. So, having looked at that, I decided to get a middle-of-the-line <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B005MTMFHU\">Canon SX40 HS<\/a> 12.1MP Digital Camera with 35x Wide Angle Optical Image Stabilized Zoom and 2.7-inch Vari-Angle Wide LCD. Verna already has the Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi SLR camera which, as regular readers know, does an excellent job.<\/p>\n<p>So the new camera is on the way and should be here in a few day&#8217;s time. I&#8217;m looking forward to some of the advanced features that improve on the older cameras capabilities. With some travel dates in the not-too-distant-future, I think it will work out well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2011, I had to &#8220;guess&#8221; at the rate for Federal and State withholding.
