Well... it's sure a sore point around here. The second Narrows bridge that is under construction right now will be a toll bridge. They're adding a WHOLE second span there, and get this: We'll go from two lanes (no toll) either way, to... are you ready...??? are you sure... ???

We'll have a NEW TOTAL of TWO traffic lanes either way, plus a "buses only" lane. YES!!! From MERELY TWO lanes that are now free... to a NEW TOTAL of TWO lanes that will have a $3 toll on them.

WOOOHOOO!!! How can I sign up early for this s#!t? And it gets better... the TOLL goes up $1 a year for the first three years to $6. Goollllyyy.... this is just getting better by the minute.

I don't usually endorse the idea of blowing things up. I can think of an exception to that, though.

$6??? You gotta be FREAKIN' kidding me.

I take our turnpike three days a week. 50 cents each way, to one exit down; on the other hand, the traffic is always moving, no slow-n-go nonsense. They're increasing tolls by 40% come August. Glad I'll be out of here by now.

PA almost deserves what it gets for electing Fast Eddie Rendell governor, but the R's should have tried running someone who wasn't dweebier than a pocket protector. Sigh... at least we have a good chance of getting rid of our RINO senator this primary.

Brilliant. The guy who thought that up needs to be on my payroll so I can get some of that money. LOL!

Well, tell the terrorists that the bridge is an affront to Allah. Then warn everyone to stay away...

[Wneighbor]

So, does the old bridge stay so you can use that option? Or will you *have* to use the new bridge? That don't even make no sense. Ya'll need to get some of us redneck engineers up there. Even the aggies down here can do better than that!

*duckin' msdrby's punch* hehehe

Lemme tell ya though, you just ain't lived till you've had to stop a Harley at a toll booth in the pouring rain, stand up, hold the bike with your legs and try to fish quarters outta your (soaked) pocket that's covered with 2 layers of leather (soaked leather) at 1 AM. Frikkin' nuts!! Just slap nuts.
