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
