Cripple Creek Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 On 5/24/2019 at 1:10 AM, ExiledInIllinois said: How are non-toll roads funded? Fuel taxes? Anyway... Same with the Illinois Tollway. The way I believe their Tollway Authority Constitution is written is as long as they are laying concrete some where else, they can continue to collect on roads paid off. Hence the building of I-355. It could be that justification for tolls is that they are typically on I's. Heavy commercial traffic and out of area travelers. Taxing the locals or even statewide would not be a "fair" assessment based on use. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted May 29, 2019 Author Share Posted May 29, 2019 TIL Alcatraz's reputation as a tough as nails prison was a Hollywood myth.

One tough guy in an interview said he spent a month in one and he'd rather do a long stretch at San Quentin before returning to that Japanese prison I wonder if they were hard on Macca for his pot bust in 1981?

BUFFALOKIE Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 (edited) Ha! I was inspecting my tomatoes plants just a little while ago and they have a bunch o little white aphids. I looked closer and saw a bug exactly like that photo. I almost flicked it away but then i thought maybe it would feed on the aphids so I left it alone. After seeing your post just now I ran out and looked again and surecenough that little booger was still there, and this time munching away on an aphid! Cool!

I don’t personally care for any, but I hope Tom Brady is one of them. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
