Too dang humid already for firewood duty but I got 1 load. I'm now on my last row and it's a shorter one as it comes up under the boards going across the top front of the shed. So,in short,I'm almost done.
Isn't this the time of year that you usually get a truckload full of new wood?

( ;) :D )

New York State's Cell Phone Law. The use of any hand-held cellular phone while driving is prohibited

"Up to".

That's like our DSL service that says "up to 12mb/s" service... and our complaints of <1 mb/s go
ignored and - probably - laughed at. 1mb/s is TOTALLY within the parameters of "up to"
12mb/s.

But I digress...

My question... is there a LEGAL reason they cannot make that fine something like $1,000, or more?
$5,000??? $10,000? I mean, if they are SERIOUS about it... why NOT???

The same goes for ANY fine... the current ones are nothing more than a nuisance and easily
covered by most people. Why can't they make the fines MUCH steeper?
