It always PO’s me when I see my transportation/gas taxes going to pay for walking paths, bicycle paths, under street animal crossings, art-in-public-plkaces and other assorted BS. Call me cranky. I call my self disgusted with this diversion from road repair and construction.

truckers don't get to choose the states they drive in - they go where the shipments take them to to be delivered or picked up - he does, however, try to get gassed up and get thru’ those states without having to pay their ransom.

My wife and I are cyclists. We went riding today. All day we were dodging around pot holes and bad spots in the road. We have had very cold weather and tons of rain and some snow this winter and the roads here are in terrible shape. They came along a couple of weeks ago and put filler in the pot holes, but now even that is coming out. Tons of tax money and bunch of lousy roads.

You know what would solve that problem?

Global warming, that's what.
