First up is a story on a new kind of taxation in Oregon with privacy implications: They want to track you by GPS and tax you based on how many miles you travel.

Buck Owens Dead at 76

Mom never liked Buck very much, as I recall, so it was odd when I ended up liking him a good but, although I think it was mostly his duet version of Act Naturally with Ringo Starr and the accompanying video that did it for me.

His music was a lot of fun and I still enjoy his work when it pops up on The Roadhouse on Sirius.

So long, Buck.
