Having @ one time helping to secure $1.75 B for the (Santa Clara County, CA) areas’ transportation needs, I can tell you 59% is way high to a bold faced lie. While the $1.75 B had stiff legal penalties fo “mis” appropriations, it was really no guarantee that 100% of monies were used for its intended purposes. I was NOT part of the this particular transportation money’s auditing team.
Perhaps that was for the better, I would’ve probably ended up in some ditch somewhere, 14 shots to the back of the head, ruled a,...suicide.
I've bought several packs of Amazon batteries including the CR2032. They are great. My wife used a lot of them in the decorations for the rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding. The things labeled Amazon Basics have always served well, even my paper shredder.

Coincidence perhaps?

I think it's similar in CA but, as always, data talks -- please bring it. There is a large contingent that thinks travel by automobile is evil in general, but particularly in cities. So, you end up with "road diets" that take four-lane thoroughfares and turns them in two lanes with either a bike lane or parking, making an already overloaded situation much worse. And, of course, the whole lot is paid for from gas taxes paid by the people whose roads aren't being maintained or improved. California's attempt at high-speed rail is an especially good example of public funds being used foolishly.
2 year old Rescue Papillon/Chihuahua mix. Sweet as can be. Unreal someone just dumped him on the street. He’s sweet, nice, well behaved. Got him from the SPCA, shots up to date, claws trimmed, chipped, neutered. All for $40 adoption fee.
The actual facts on gas taxes are here:

When people can, they get a car and drive it. Making driving licenses easier to get is a factor -- see, I've left out the political part.
If I'm wrong, bring me data.
IIRC even Cincinnati's Trolley Folly with a short loop downtown and to the ballpark area was supported partly with Ohio road funds among other sources and likely Federal road monies as well.
Let's use fuel taxes for roads on road repairs, maintenance, and improvements.

I would be grateful if my state returned 59% of the money taken for road repairs.

I am sure downward wage pressures will make it better. LOL. What a world they've made.

From here it looks like he has your ears. See if you can get him to help you with the waxing your TLX
Good luck with him.

I sure would love to live long enough to witness the audit results as to how Broward and local governments spent those hundreds of millions of dollars. Salary raises for county employees would be my guess as to how a majority of the money is going to be spent. There are just so many buses you can put on Broward County roads.

Poor guy was abandoned in the woods. Who would just dump a dog in the woods? He was emaciated when the SPCA got him. It took them a few weeks but they got him to good health. My neighbor volunteers there and told he about him (his name is Bisket). I hadn’t had a dog in about 5 years. So, after she sent me pictures, I had to check him out. He came home with me and hasn’t been too far away from my side since I got him.
And, you guys are correct. They do find you, more than you find them.
Not yappy like some small dogs and he doesn’t bark at every little sound.
Just a good, loving dog. It’s been awhile. I forgot how much joy and love dogs bring to a home.
And yes, he gets the front seat treatment.
They are very protective of their “space” and their owners. Enjoy your lives together, GG.

@abacomike .....Had this pup since Saturday, and the only time he made a peep was when he saw a bunny during one of our walks. So far, nothing but silence when the UPS, FedEx, my son, even me when I open the door from being gone. He is there to give me a greeting when I get home, though.
He sleeps throughout the night in his bed (which is next to my bed). He hasn’t had an accident (yet), but I take him out 3-4 times/day. Once as soon as I get up, couple times during the day, and once before we go to bed. Seems to be working.
I think I’m lucky with this guy! He’s lived in a house before. As, he’s been easy to train, so far. Just someone didn’t want him anymore and took him to the woods. Inexplicable, as he’s as sweet as the day is long.

I say bring on the China tariffs! The American economic miracles needs to be spread around the world & NOT concentrated in the hands of CHINA, a now sworn enemy.
This is not to give domestic terrorists ideas, but yesterday we had an electrical outage due to BALLOONS (helium?) allegedly getting tangled up in electrical wires. (on telephone poles? )
Again. purely a guess but I’m sure the balloons were meant for some deserving mother on mother’s day.
Remember, despicable, evil, heart breaking acts are the exception. Else they wouldn't be news. For every story of human evil, there are exponentially more acts of kindness, selflessness and civility, such as adopting an abandoned pet or helping a fellow human being. Not newsworthy, but it's what the majority does. "Give 'em dirty laundry..."
Just a theory, of course.

When it was time to put the male down after the female had already died, she had a vet or tech come to her house because she couldn't handle the male with his aggressiveness. IIRC, the male tech couldn't even get to him with the needle without a couple of others holding down the dog.
Some of the rescues have had terrible lives. It is, indeed, sad. So glad to see folks take the dogs that might be put to sleep after a period of time being held in the shelters.

We haven't seen Trixie for 8 days.....we pick her up at 4 today, really miss her.
Life isn't the same without a pet.
Except for Monroe....wants to put the dog to work waxing cars!

Metro would cost 6 Euros a day, but a long walk, about 45 minutes.
Taxi would cost 40 Euros a day, 15 minutes, door to door.
We thought we would try UBER......24 Euros a day! About 55% of the price of a taxi.
Impressive if you never used it. You call them, tell them where you are going. They give you a price, if you accept they show how many cars are in the area. You choose to accept. they give you a license number and brand of car, drivers rating, and his name. UBER tells you how far away the car is in minutes, usually less than 3. Car pulls up, you ask who he is, if the name matches you go.
We took two taxis and about 14 UBERS, the UBER cars were much cleaner, drivers were better, and the system is smooth...brings science to a really old fashioned system. When you leave the car, they email you the cost - goes on your credit card, and you rate the driver. There is some accountability, which taxi drivers don't have.
