This plan strikes me more as the usual 'build mo bigga suburbs cheaper to gettem into town' scam. At least it fits the usual pattern for freeway construction which is nearly always from the outside in.

My guess is they'll burn up all the dough and then sum building this leg and then hit up the voters for the other leg to the Bay Urea.

Speaking of commenting on "California Crat-Scamming^TM" (/s), SW, have you noticed that Dog Gone hasn't posted here in years? I've checked his last postings and in no way did any of them look like a syonara. I hope he didn't come to serious misfortune.

Jim, do you know anything about it?

I think of him frequently but suddenly a few weeks ago I tried to remember his screen name to ping him to some petro energy thread.

I also had planed to meet up with him in 2009 on my coast-to-coast trip on I-10 but when I got to the Houston Space Center (I refuse to call it the Lyndon Johnson Space Center) they took us into the Lunar module control room and mentioned that the Shuttle was taking off on the following Monday.

We did the same thing that jealous astronaut woman did by driving straight through and non-stop to Cape Canaveral (I refuse to call it Cape Kennedy)! We didn't need Depends like she did because we were in an RV. So therefore I missed having a cup of coffee with Dog Gone. I thought of him when the big oil spill hit the gulf, especially!!!

He last logged in about a year ago. Guess he’s basically gone.
