noozguru, I don't think we agree about this, but I do believe the best thing I can do to influence policy is to do TMSP in a group. So that's what I do. And now thanks to FFL, I also have more intelligent input on both sides of any issue. Seems like a really good combo.

I don't know if they've done away with all the tool booths as they want people to use FastTrack which is a little thing you put on your windshield. I don't use bridges enough to have it so for people like me they take a picture of your license plate and send a bill. As Doc and I have mentioned the SF Bay Area has piss poor mass transit so a lot of people drive to work. As for politics my purpose on bringing these issues up is not to scare people (meditators aren't supposed to scare easily anyway) but inform and see if folks want to discuss the issues. We're all adults and supposed to have some influence on policy. On 09/04/2013 07:14 AM, Share Long wrote: >noozguru, $6 toll bridge!

San Francisco can be a very Willy Nilly place literally as Willy Brown aided in the delay (and they want to name the bridge after him!) People wanted the bridge fixed and didn't care so much about the design but the politician cluster fuck argued for a landmark which caused it to be the most expensive bridge in the world. If California goes bankrupt (which it nearly is) the Chinese will probably buy the new bridge and charge a $25 toll (it's $6 rush hour now). > >On 09/03/2013 09:39 AM, Share Long wrote: > > >>ah ha! noozguru, I wonder what that earlier opening did to the bridge's >>jyotish chart! >> >> >> >> >>________________________________ >> From: Bhairitu <[email protected]> >>To: [email protected] >>Sent: Tuesday, September 3, 2013 11:08 AM >>Subject: [FairfieldLife] The Bridge >> >> >> >> >>No not the TV show though I was watching my recording last night of "The >>Dome" on my DVR when after one set of commercials instead of returning >>to the series full screen if moved to the upper right corner and as the >>local CBS station put up a "Breaking News" alert showing cars crossing >>the new span of the Bay Bridge. >> >>The bridge was scheduled to reopen at 5 AM this morning but they >>actually were able to get it ready in time to open it last night.
