My random thought of the week

Post by funkysmurf »

I used the M4 today and spent $4.40 in two directions...which got me thinking (there was no smoke). How do them toll workers get to work (the humans that give you change)? Do you think they have to pay the toll? Where would they park?

I don't think they'd walk there...hmmm.

Yes, yes...I'm skipping electricity alltogether. It's a dying technology. Going to bio-neural circuitry with gel packs and EPS conduits with plasma flow.
