Actually, It's "Daylight Saving Time" without the S at the end of "saving."

Kinda like it's "Safe Deposit box" not safety deposit box. even though they say it on TV. Another one is Anyways. there's no S at the end!

Anyway, Toll road money goes towards paying the road workers to keep that road expecially nice. dunno if it walyes happens, but there is turnpike in colorado that is just emaculate and without potholes. its a nice toll road. Always clean when I go out there to ski.

It might pay for you to read up on this then. Ideally, "fuel tax" goes into the maintainence of all roadways. Including the clipping of the grass.

Toll roads, statistically are in no better condition than non-toll roads on average.



There is no history until something happens, then there is.

I haven't read up on this, but I'm guessing toll roads are high traffic and need to be repaved / maintained more often.

@Nickelplate, my bad man... I know that's one of you pet peeves.

Edit: I looked up more info about toll roads here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toll_roads but couldn't seem to find any relevant information.

Actually... this is kind of interesting : Kentucky has an extensive system of parkways, built in the 1960s and 1970s, which began as toll roads; only two of the nine roads still collect tolls, as state law requires toll collection to cease once the road's construction bonds are paid off

Kentucky is one of the only states that apparently gave the roadway back to the state once the monies were collected from tolls to pay for them.

Since then however, the roads have degraded to a point where they are considering reinstating the toll. I am not sure, but I have seen a few construction areas that appear to be rebuilding the old plaza's.

Lucky, kentucky has low fee's so paying them should not be quite as bad as say New Jersey or some of the other high end states who rob their roadways.

The toll roads work up here in BC Canada...to get to the interiortheres 2 roads..The old Hope-Princeton way or take the Coquihalla (toll road). The Coquihalla is in much better condition and just better to drive on. Nice easy turns, 3 lanes in some places...just perect for going 160 kph in the blazing sun. The Hope-Princeton on the other hand, takes a bit longer plus the road is not in the best condition, its drivable thought, just not ideal. Thats where the big landslide happened a few years, on the H-P.

i wouldnt think having darkness earlier in peoples day would save energy, in fact i would expect the opposite, lights are needed and its usually cooler so they use heat
maybe im wrong

-Especially, not expecially. Expecially is how little kids who are still learning to talk say it.
-Don't know, "dunno" is not a word, and the first letter of the first word in a sentence should be capitalised.
-I fixed a mistake there in red.
-Immaculate, not emaculate.
-The proper word is "It's", with an apostrophe to indicate it's a contraction of "it is". Again, capitalisation.

You were asking for that :P

  • That's what I get for typing fast.
  • I never said "Expecially," did i? because I KNOW that is not right... my brother used to say that... typo.
  • I meant to say Emasculate, like what I'm going to do to you.
