Catching Up After Vacation

Tons and tons to catch up on after a great vacation with the family.

I've was able to clear out the 200+ new work emails over the weekend, but haven't touched the 700+ Bloglines feeds.  Probably fly through them over the next few days and I hope I don't miss important ones from good friend and fellow bloggers.

I'll have some great pics to post later as well.

It is great to be home!

Family Vacation!

We are all headed to a resort in the Texas Hill Country today.  Should be a great time with the kids and Sunshine family.  We went to the Hyatt Hill Country Resort this same time last year, so we head back to a similar resort this year.

Limited posts from me over the next few days.

Talk to you soon!

Pay by the mile to use the highways? Excuse me?

Tony Harzel writes in the Dallas Morning News on Sunday (12/5/04) that our nation's transportation budget is in dire straights and that Alaska's US Rep, Michael Young, wants to introduce legislature to have consumers pay by the mile to offset budget deficits.

He wants to do this by an electronic odometer in our cars...

Are you freakin' kidding me?  What's more ridiculous?  That the government could actually figure out a way to do this, or that an elected official thinks this is the way to fix the problem?

Don't even get me started on this.  I live in Dallas and we have plenty of toll roads already, but why doesn't someone in Washington and our state Reps do their job with the budgets to figure this out?

What the heck are they doing with my/our current taxes that we are in dire straights?  Such a joke.
