I guess I got too happy with this article and the copy machine. I guess what upset them most was to learn that the "New thermal detecting cameras" were the same ones they use in some airports to make all clothing c-thru.

I knew what Richard was doing, and I thought based on my experience with the RMA Board that it was still possible. Off the subject, city plans to resurface N. Westover Hills Boulevard from Riverside to the birdge starting in July. I knew it was April First.

Just get an EZ-Pass people. I also think there should be a catapult for people that get in the exact change only lane and then spend 5 minutes looking underneath the car seat for change.

There are far too many freeloaders using this bridge. It really gets my fur up to see SUV's with folks packed in like sardines using the same bridge for the same excessive fee that I have dip into my meager resources to access. But there is a problem. I bet I spend several hours a year waiting behind folks who have to search for change at the toll booths. Condider how that wait will increase when we have to wait for 2, 4, maybe even 5 or 6 prople to search their pockets and wallets looking for loose change. It's a good idea, but I feel the negatives in terms of extra fuel consumed and time wasted will far outweigh any benefit to society. A good idea. There are far too many freeloaders using this bridge.
