I had a Tracfone to carry in the car but never used it and let it expire. If I did much night driving, I’d prolly get one again.
Are they going to provide a “snow removal” app to go with the pay app? </s>
I no longer drive at night but was doing some when I got the first cell.
It was huge and had a pamphlet that was like a small phone book telling you where you could or could not use it,all over the USA. There weren’t cell towers all over the place then.
My,how things have changed.

So what happened, did the campaigns for the mayor and city council get bankrolled by the failing Apple corporation, which is desperate to sell more smartphones?
Just one more reason to take the bus, if you can. Who in heck wants to wallow in traffic jams to find limited parking options, if they can help it? As long as you can take a concealed weapon with you, the bus should be fine.
“I remember, back in my day, when we would circle around and around and around a block with our pockets full of nickels, looking for vacant spots, and then would put the nickels in the meters, and sometimes one of them would jam in there, so we would have parking tickets when we got back to our cars! And we liked it!” —Grumpy Old Man.
Do I get a free smartphone or do I have to pay money to a private for profit business before I can deal with my government?
“I love the computer, especially word-processing. For some of us who do constant editing and rewrites, it makes the grunt work of writing so much easier and less a distraction from the mental flow. I also like being able to see things and access information from all over the world that I couldn’t see otherwise.”
Agree completely.
I just refuse to be tracked by Google and whoever.
I was there for that.
I happened to stay home from work that day. Wasn’t planning it but the ride home the night before was so awful, I decided to take a call in vacation day.
I was about to go in but my ride had already left so I didn’t, and 15 minutes later, WHAM.
Never saw such a white out in my life.
We could not even see the house next door across those narrow little driveways with 3 feet of lawn next to the house next door. Couldn’t have been more than 10 - 12 feet between houses.
Toronto sent the Metro-Melter.
Do you remember how the movie “Cool Hand Luke” started?
From what I remember of the machine, it was pretty neat.
It drove down the street, loading snow in front, then melting it internally, squirting anti-freeze into the melt water, then dumping the water out the back to run down into the sewer.
I’ve just solved the parking problem. I bought a parked car.

However, city government is now forcing people to download their app to deal with city government.
Is is progress? Is is more convenient? Is it intrusive?
If you have to pay to park, you are living too close to too many ‘Rats.
Nope,,,
Like Buffalo isn’t already an intolerant shithole.
Not if you believe in personal liberty.
A cell phone app is not legal tender.

Oooops, too late.

I remember seeing pictures of it working on the news.
I thought it heated the snow though.
Either way, it sure was effective.
