LOL I posted this on another forum, and another Joisyite said that was the

Re: Gas prices by state
Agreed, although layout might imply planning. When I moved my daughter to
Jersey City from Boston a few years ago, I had reservations at a hotel,
couldn't figure out how to get to it. Asked an on duty town cop who couldn't
tell me how to get there either. Watch commander led us both to it, and it
was maybe half an mile away. Daylight might have helped, and the cop knew
the hotel but fuzzy on how to drive to it.

| I'm afraid to ask if you asked the cop whether he could find his ass with

Yeah, and he doesn't even wear a seat belt when he speeds.

Re: Gas prices by state
I happened to watch the CBS morning news this morning. They
interviewed a bunch of people at gas stations whining about high gas
prices. More than half were in SUVs. I think they need to quit whining
and look in the mirror for the main cause of high gas priced. The
segment also included an interview the current Florida Governor. He
was demanding that Congress do something about high gas prices. I
wanted to puke. If these guys want to be socialist, then they should
just say so and demand that the oil companies be nationalized. While
they are at it, they should take over Disney, and lower the admission
prices, quit taxing hotel rooms, and let me have free meals when I am
in Florida. Hypocrites!

Hybrid Taxi Bill Passed by NY City Council
will NewYorkers want to ride an American or Japanese Hybrid?
BTW will a hybrid charge well if stuck in traffic?

I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who drives a large vehicle. I do
feel sorry for people who drive average maybe-not-so-fuel-efficient cars,
and have to struggle to go to work and back.

Natalie, please modify that sentiment to 'People driving large
vehicles who really don't need to'. They knew those vehicles got low
fuel mileage, they knew they couldn't come up with any practical
reasons for driving something that big, and yet they /chose/ to buy
and drive them anyway because "They look Hip and Cool" - and now those
fuel mileage chickens are coming home to roost.
Some people need big vehicles for hauling around a large family or
for work purposes - I could use bigger than the 3/4T Work Van I have
now, but then again I hate getting there and finding out I don't have
that one stupid little (yet critical) piece I need to finish. Making
a $75.00 trip to pick up a 25c part really frosts my...
