Quote:Who is building your roads? Cleaning up the mess when a tanker overturns? Us.Yeah. Thanks for that. We get a lions share of the Federal highway money for building our roads.
And... speaking of tankers overturning... I was delayed this morning for an hour (adding to my carbon footprint) by a waste tanker that shed liquid human poop on the road for 1/2 a mile. Unpleasant, yes, but how many times in your life do you get to explain that to your boss as a reason for being late? I was feeling sorry for us drivers that had to endure going past it, but then I saw the poor people who had to do the cleaning up. Then I imagined the people that were directly behind this thing when it began to spew and I forgot all about my troubles.
