SOME THINGS I HAVE OPINIONS ON.
1. Leaf blowers. they should be outlawed. They serve no useful purpose except to blow trash from your yard into the street or someone else's yard or back into your yard if the winds are blowing that way.
2. Toll Roads, vs. Freeways. Our roads are falling apart. I, for one, would be willing to pay a small fee to have roads in better condition, only, of course, if there was a guarantee that these funds would be used for maintenance.
3. Noise. In nearly every town or city of any size you will see a sign as you get to the city limits, engine brake restricted on not allowed. Or some wording like that. For those who aren't aware, that means that a big rig driver can't use his jake brake when he is in city limits. I will listen to that brake all day long as it means the truck is stopping. It is a much better sound than the people in cars driving around with those huge sound systems in their cars and jacked up so loud that they over power even the truck brakes.
4. In a previous post probably a couple of years ago, I commented that I was against Hillary for among other reasons, she wanted to get rid of the 2nd amendment or at the least rewrite it. I shuddered at that thought. NOW, I shudder again as a group of Republican's want to give Trump the power to suppress or rewrite a portion of the 1st amendment, limiting or suppressing the right of freedom of the press.
Can I just say that Washington, D.C. and the politicians therein make me ill. I'm glad sometimes that I am old.
AND THAT'S THE VIEW FROM THE DITCH BANK
