Barbara,

Do you mean to tell me that we have borders with both the states of

Mexico and Canada? When did that happen? Whatever will they dream up

next?



And besides, why transport the radioactive stuff (if you must flaunt it

all over the countryside) in a truck at all? Just stash it in the trunks

of our three cars and go wherever we wish ....   Get stopped for

speeding and provide a real thrill for your friendly state trooper.

Sigh....



Happy Saturday!

Are they actually planning to set up 54 stations that are going to try

to weigh the State of California? Why? What else does Gov. Pro Tem Davis

have in mind?



I still think that 2+2=4 except for very large values of 2 is a great

rule!
