I think it's perfect. A facility that does a filthy but necessary job that disgusts the liberals who played a big part in creating the mess, thereby protecting them in spite of themselves, should absolutely be named after Bush.

I wonder if that opinion is shared by the people that actually have to live near it.

I'm really interested in your opinion, Red, as to why annexation would be better for this area than incorporation. Thanks.

Werd!

How many Obama supporters does it take to change a light bulb? When Obama is President, light bulbs will change themselves. How many McCain supporters does it take to change a light bulb? Just one. But give him a hundred years, or however long it takes.

If the debate were framed in those terms, ie "we can't drill because it'll ruin my view of the ocean," well, we'd have been drilling in those places a long time ago. ...where they don't even want a wind farm offshore. Green NIMBYs are the funniest.

Given that you're going to vote for someone who wants to take even more of my money, you'll get no gratitude from me.

Interesting, I found an old topo map from 1916 showing Bammel N Houston Road as Erhart Road. At the point where it would intersect present day FM 1960, it turns to follow present day FM 1960's alignment to the northeast. There was no road in the southwest direction. http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/topo/texas/...aldine-1916.jpg

The bans are solely a response to environmental concerns from offshore drilling. Those concerns have their root in one event in particular, the Santa Barbara oil spill in 1969, which resulted from a blowout on a Unocal platform. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Barbara_oil_spill In California, many of the platforms are still there and production from new wells could be on line relatively quickly (12-18 mos.).

It's referring to informing the operators as to what direction the switch will take you.

Then send it to me and relieve your aggravation.

I got news for you and Shelly: America isn't even close to being unique in that regard.

Various names I've seen for FM 1960: Jackrabbit Road (remember that one?) Humble Westfield Road Bammel Road I saw a map with (something)-Satsuma Road, but I don't think it was Addicks.

True, but the effect can be temporary as people get used to the longer yellow time.

Maybe Roger and Barry can share a cell.

Try to go as low as possible, but if all else fails, a recent (within the past year) independent appraisal should be the highest you'll have to settle for.

Nothing has been set in stone on the crossings. I remember hearing that they wanted to keep the possibility of interlining open, but my memory could suck, too.

When it's not clogged with cars, it sure is.

No we don't!

US 290 sign works for me.

I may have you beat on geekiness. I changed where I enter and park in our garage at the office to save a couple of drops of gas each day.

A couple billion people, for starters.
