Iceland?

I don’t know.

Sounds kind of harsh.

Is there a Happywarmsnugglyland?

I mean, besides Peoria.

I eat at McDonalds, too.

I try to get some fries from each one for a suvanear....suevaner...momento.

But the filthy fry-grabbing hounds here scarf them down.

Nothing more onerous then the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.

I wonder how much mitigation needs to be programmed based upon the findings from the “Environmental Justice” section of the report?

Environmental Justice (EJ) is the study of impacts the project may or may not have that either benefits or harms protected minority classes. It’s not sufficient to claim that new roads will provide better transportation options to the people.

I could fill up several pages on all the crap that needs to be addressed in these reports, from Historical Preservation, Archaeology, EJ, biological assessments, Clean Water Act compliance, Endangered Species Act, and so on.

The last one I did was for a hospital, which you think would be a good thing for minority groups, but the Feds make you jump through some pretty stupid hoops to come to that simple conclusion.

This why it takes so long and cost millions before you can even put a shovel in the ground and is the reason why there were really so few “shovel ready jobs” when Obama enacted the stimulus program.

There are hot springs all over the island.
Fireplaces by beds too...

Th reason you put curves in the road are as follows:

1) change the direction to avoid obstacles and costs
2) control speed
3) driver alertness.

When the interstate freeway system was proposed all freeways were to have a 5 mile straight stretches every so many miles to allow for the landing and take-off of our military aircraft.

OK.

I’ll give you that Icemakerland has beautiful women.

But what about my adopted hometown of Toadsuck, Arkansas?

Does Icemakerland have a combination car wash/Podiatry Clinic like my hometown?

Well of course the beds are going to have hot springs if they’re building fires right by them.

You win, Arkansas is better than Iceland.

Unrelated, but one time I stayed the night in Texarkana.
There were millions of, I guess, locusts. On the walls,and everywhere in the parking lot. They kept flying into me. I thought the end was nigh...
