It's like I finally get my 40 ton behemoth back up to speed and there is a sign that says "Toll plaza 1 mile". To pay a 1.50 toll. I am willing to bet I have to stop at no less than 10 toll booths to get from Gary, IN to Rochelle. And to top it all off, the toll roads are in worse condition than 294 EVER was. I would like to know what they are doing with all that money they collect. AH, well, at least I can avoid driving 0.5 mph for ages by taking the outer roads.

Well, stand by, because on January 1st the tolls are going up on all Chicago area tollways for all non-IPass users. You might want to check into it.

GREEDY BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!

Actually, I shouldn't complain (as long as they actually use the additional funds to repair those screwed up roads). OH, NY, NJ and PA charge one HELLUVA lot more than practically any other states in the US for their toll roads. They charge by weight so I get to pay about 40 dollars to cross Ohio, PA is about 90, Jersey is insane for the length you drive and don't get me started on NY. Bastards charge 50 dollars to cross the George Washington Bridge....into the friggin BRONX.

I actually think most for the funds are going to put in more IPass lanes....

As for the other tolls, damn, that's harsh. I never thought about how much more truckers have to pay.

And when it comes to the Bronx, they should let you in for free, and charge you to get out.

I'd pay double to get out. Visualize a gigantic dumpster with cars double parked on it. Welcome to the Bronx.

The two worst things I have noticed from every woman I have ever dated and/or married:

1. They will never be on time. Time is a foreign concept to all women.

2. They cannot answer a "yes or no" question with a simple yes or no.

My wife does pretty will with the yes or no. Now the time thing is a different matter. When she sets a time she means ish. You now like 6ish. which means any where from 6:05 to 6:45.

What I have learned to do is adjust my time I say 5:30 but I mean 6:00 and we usually arrive on time.

Until they catch on and start adapting their time clock as well.

That's the opposite of my wife... time she's good with (growing up with a mother who was incapable of being on time), but she's never uttered the words "yes" or "no" without qualifying them.

I do these two things and it drives Sully crazy.

The time thing...I don't know why the hell I'm late...I really don't.

The yes or no thing, I just want to make sure everyone's happy so it's hard for me to make a decision.
