toll those roads


Yesterday I had to actually record a commission meeting for TXDoT. It felt great being in a room surrounded by a bunch of Texan Republicans, I tell you what. They are determined to set up a toll road system here. One of the commissioners, who is gung-ho about it, kept mentioning the governor. It was an interesting meeting and it could have been worse! I was only bored about 1/3 of the time. The rest of the time was quite informative. Most of the commissioners seemed to have good sense and I appreciated that. But that one commissioner - ugh.

I hated recording that meeting. Luckily I got the rest of the day off when I finished. I was brain-dead by that point anyway - no use to anyone.
