The story seemed so unreal that I had to look it up at another source. Second time in two days that I doubted something on the first pass. Words fail.
The BOTD is talking about a Chicago alderman's proposal to allow "red light cameras and other city surveillance cameras" to be "used to track down motorists without proper car insurance". Not sure who scares me more here. Big brother or uninsured motorists.
I have an alternate route to work. It's almost a mile longer. In my mind, it had two areas that are potential traffic problems. That's why I'd always avoided it. I decided to try this alternate route last week because my preferred route has been inundated with some of the most absurd problems imaginable. A big truck broke down Wednesday in the critical turning lane that I have to use right at the time I had to use it. What? That was the trigger. The two problem areas on the alternate route were confirmed Thursday but they were also quite manageable and there were no problems Friday. I shall continue using this route until something happens. A small victory to be sure but I need those more now than I ever did.
