Just outta time...

December brings some mixed emotions- the fun of the holidays, coupled with, uh, taxes due among other things.

And today is also the last regular business day of the month. Shown here, the line was out the door at the Butler license bureau.

Likewise, the line got pretty long at Collector's Office at the Bates County courthouse, too. 

Cheer up! As someone reminded Northern Commissioner Alvin Griffin just prior to the swearing in ceremony today- "This is the last time you'll have to wear a suit this year"!
