Speeding Along

 

Speed Trap

Town of Kersey got me for $40. Seems in just weeks the town has generated around 1/3 $Million in revenue. Most certainly, other towns around the area are taking note.

 In the small city where I live, there is now a dedicated radar van that moves around. A Facebook page has been created to track the locations.

 I’m not against enforcing speed limits, within reason. Drivers going 15-20 mph in built up areas endanger all of us.

 The section of road Kersey monitors has no side streets and one farm driveway. I don’t buy “safety” for the way speed limits are set on that section of WCR 49. Perhaps those speed limits were set back when it was two lanes and should be reviewed.

Weed Business

Competing with the “black market” is tough. I’m not a customer. That said, my understanding the street price is lower, the potency adequate, and the sellers aren’t required to fund Emperor Polis’ and associates blue dreams.  Mexican cartels may be another story.

Grand Western Tradition

Wyoming, Colorado, and other western states have a history of schemes involving mining to fleece investors. They also share a history of fabulous wealth generated by mining. Which is happening now with rare earths?

Me, just a bemused sideline viewer.

Consequents

The DOT, Federal and some States, crackdown on unlicensed and unqualified truck drivers, I applaud. There are repercussions. My local grocery store has a lot of empty shelves. Upon my inquiry, I was told they are having trouble getting their deliveries.

 Safer roads vs being inconvenienced? I’ll take option one, thank you.

 As always, YMMV
