I avoid toll roads, too---just on the principle of it. Our gasoline taxes are supposed to pay for the roads---and I pay a lot of gasoline taxes!

. So far, I have paid 50 cents in tolls, and that's only because I was in the wrong lane at the wrong time, and had to enter the toll road.

I don't have a problem if they are handy for other folks--but as long as there is another road that gets me to the same place, I'm happy.

Of course if I had to go to work every day during rush hour, I'm sure I'd have a far different attitude.

Did anybody get stuck in traffic the other day when Plugs Biden was in town. They make such a circus out of getting those "important big people" around.

Stick the guy in a plain ole beige SUV and no one would ever notice him. Good grief! It looked like his police escort consisted of every cop in Austin and the surrounding counties.

183 and MOPAC are toll roads? Guess it’s been longer than I remembered being in Austin. Did they figure out a way to let the hippies free?
