The Gov, King Andrew, is an idiot. Period. 'Nuff said about that.
Tell you a little story about the Ice Storm of 98. Lot's of people never heard about it, but there was a strip both sides of the US/Canada border with out power and coated in heavy ice for up to 3 weeks- in January! Millions of people affected, but no one every heard about it outside this area. So anyway, our County declares a "State of Emergency!!!!!" and bans all unnecessary travel for anything other than food, fuel, medical. Every tractor trailer was off the road. Parking lots were full of trucks. Within 24 hours a modification came down that ALCOA trucks were the only ones allowed to use the road. You see, ALCOA has a big plant up here, not as big now as it was then, and they had lots of political power. So us poor old road Troopers were out there pulling trucks off the road and getting screamed at when here comes a group of ALCOA trucks with a Super Secret Special Permission Slip in their possession. Took me about 2.3 nano-seconds to blow my fuse! Yup, we let the ALCOA trucks through. And then we went and rounded up every truck and tractor we could find and escorted them to the county line where the travel ban ended!!! I never got in trouble for doing that, and a little bird might have told all the truckers to pass the word about the super secret permission slip that ALCOA got and to maybe let the companies know who to call and scream at too. Sometimes you have to bypass the stupidity and get the job done.
When it comes to stupidity, gov't it down perfect.

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
