doing our part for Art

The guy in the left bucket must be pretty brazen. All it takes is a minor swipe from a car that veered off the right lane and ...

What happened to the palm tree in front. It doesn't look all that healthy. Oh, hey, gas is 6c cheaper out here :-)

They hacked the trees last week, for better photography I guess.

Gas does cost more in downtown SF than where you (or I) live. The car wash top-end detailing job is fabulous, for about $250. It's worth it if you're trying to sell a car.

The camera in the conference room goes SNAP! every 30 seconds. It freaked me out at first, after hours. He's taken over 12,000 4Kx4K images so far.

Here's the guy's site:

Check out the fog in the Big Sur flic.

$2.63 in Rutland and 2.81 in Burlington

That is nice. We have the same happen here more inland. When our Rottweiler was younger and a big chunk of fog would come at him while in the deck he'd growl at it. Made it go away, worked every single time.

$.79 cheaper here (WallyWorld is $2.369 today, BP this weekend was $2.399).

why didn't they do the carving before they put it up? would be easy with a cnc router too. Not artsy enough? :)

price gas here in Denmark is around twice that

Gas is over 50c cheaper here, I filled for 2.55 on Monday.

Just filled up at 42¢ cheaper :-) ...Jim Thompson

Not artsy enough.

As far as that goes, why don't they use paint? At the rate they're going, the BP well will be capped before this billboard is done.

Gas is too cheap in the USA. I don't generally approve of tax increases, but a huge increase in gas tax makes a lot of sense. Proposing it is political suicide, even for the craziest Democrats.

It's a great recessive tax, though the government doesn't need any more money. It'll just go even further in debt.

It's not recessive. The tax on every gallon would be the same. Poor folk could even buy Regular and pay less tax than rich folk who buy Premium. They could even buy small, high-mileage cars.

John

Sorry, "regressive".

That's like saying a flat tax isn't "regressive" (technically it's neutral, but...)

The tax today is per gallon, not percentage. "Poor folk" often have old beaters, which are more often than not gas-guzzlers.

But that doesn't alter the fact that the government spends far too much money now. They don't need more smack.

To guide the "ships" (cars)...

It's even $0.20 cheaper down here!

Fog can be a trick! When I designed the 91 Express Lanes, I built a vehicle sensor that was basically two laser light curtains abount a foot apart. I designed it to only distinguish vehicles going in the proper direction. What I hadn't anticipated was fog. I heard that, one day a few months after I was let go, they had thick fog move through the pass, and recorded hundreds of phantom cars in the toll lanes!

Charlie

What? And collected no tolls ?:-) ...Jim Thompson

Taking about art, ever seen a movable bridge like this? Shot that one today...
