I wouldn't worry too much about big brother concerns. Could the government spy on you in your car? Sure, they can already do that with satelites even without traffic cameras. The point is, actually watching all this video that exists requires manpower, manpower which the government doesn't really have to spare unless they have an awefully good justification for spying on you. Unless you're running a terrorist cell or a criminal, then the government doesn't want to waste their time looking at you pick your nose at a stoplight.

Even if it was the cop at fault, you have to figure it's going to happen eventually. Cops are, after all, human. Although this is the first I ever remember hearing about a cop getting into an accident, fault or no. That's gotta count for something.

How many of the piles are due to intentionally shovelling snow into the road, vs. not having time to shovel and just punching your car through the snowbank? Every time I can think of when I've run over a snow bump by someones driveway, it was clearly the result of a car tracking snow into the road, not shoveling.

I'm not against childrens museums and other organized activities for kids, but I get a little annoyed at the statement that there is "nothing for children and families to do". I'm not singling you out tj24, since I've heard the same comment from many others. It might make things easier to just have a museum to go to, but if you spend some time thinking and planning, you can find all kinds of great, fun, educational things to do with your family all by yourself, or with other families in your neighborhood. Not to mention church functions, YMCA, etc. If there is nothing for kids to do, then that is the fault of the parents.

I thought drainage field septic systems were no longer legal, but only grand-fathered in?

In another article about this subject, it seemed that the only worthwhile thing on public access was the city council meetings, etc. In todays day and age, I don't understand why that wouldn't just be available as a streaming (or even just archived) web broadcast (for some reason I hate the other term for this, so I will not use it).

janesvillecomments, the period for phone numbers I believe is a common European style, not just for fancy web "artistes". I'm seeing it more and more though; I think I'm neutral on the change (I'm still undecided on the American/European month/day/year formatting).

14% doesn't seem that bad. It's not like 100% of the 14% of trees would be affected. It's certainly better than decades ago when maples were everywhere (not speaking from experience as that was before my time).
