In case of HIVE break glass

I think the implication is that when the high for a day is -10 C, that's a cold day in Moscow. Because otherwise, -5 C is just barely below freezing. On a cold morning, Phoenix can be nearly that low, let alone Boston. But Phoenix will always climb above freezing as the day warms up.

No that's pretty average winter day for the whole day around here. When it's cold day it's around -20 for the warmest part of the day.

Kinky.

Hehe. That is EXACTLY what I was thinking.

Holy crap! Oregon is going to tax people for driving! If that law spreads to California or any other state I"m thinking the rebellion will start.

Err. . . gas taxes, vehicle purchase taxes, liscence and registration fees.

Haven't people been being taxed for driving for a LONG time? Now they're just going to tax them MORE.

Yeah.. but they are taxing the MILES you drive. They want to install these gps units into every car that tallies up the number of miles you drive and then sends that information to the state's DMV which then sends you a monthly bill.

What's wrong is that the cost of infrastructure maintenance and upkeep is already included in state sales, income tax, and in some of the road tolls you pay, so why charge a usage fee for every road? Especially when that will only hurt the economy as a result of more people spending less so that they can pay the fees for even driving/going to work. Imagine what hell it will bring to businesses as a result of them being forced to make less and less long distance deliveries?

Eh, I'd be really surprised if that went through, but even then, it looks like they're talking about replacing gas taxes with the mileage tax, not adding it. Interesting idea, but I still think ultimately unfeasable.

You want a revolution, stop subsidizing the cost of gas.

I feel sort of lonely in Benny's Roadhouse.

All those gangsters, and not one wants to tangle with the guy who just poleaxed (get it? ) their boss.

That would only force people to by non-american hybrid cars.

Don't worry.. I could aways make the cowardly one man up now that they know there's a tv camera.
