Even though I only use it once a month or so, I have the EZ-Pass, which means that I don't have to go fumbling around for change, and get to wave merrily at all the toll-payers in their long long slow lines as I carefully zip past through the EZ lane. It's like a TiVo for your car, sort of!
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

The MA pass - "Fast Lane" - I got long ago (it still says Bank Boston as its sponsor) works in all EZ Pass lanes from Maine to Maryland. Maybe even more, but that's as far as I've driven with it.
Why is ours Fast Lane when EVERYONE else is EZ-Pass? Something to ponder.
Ooh, porter!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Indiana has no alcohol sales on Sunday. When we were living there close to the state line, one Sunday, DH decided to make a beer run to Ohio (where Sundays sales are legal. We drove directly East for about 40 minutes into Wilshire--which is in a DRY county. D'OH.
It was a nice day for a drive, though.
Think of how much I want to punch people in the face, and you have a sense of my own frustration.
I can relate.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Because if it's EZ, you'll all turn into a bunch of slackers. Or slackerZ.

Because it's MA and the drivers will take speed over ease every single time.

North Carolina has Beer and Wine in groceries (no sales on Sunday before noon) and Liquor in state stores (Mon-Sat 9-9, no sales on Sunday or Election Day). This is saner than it used to be: until about 15 years ago, we had a wacky law that said you could only sell hard liquor by the bottle and not by the drink -- which meant that bars would sell you a glass of tonic and a tiny airline bottle of gin for you to mix into it yourself.

It's the work of atheistic, America-hating liberals. Only in Utah is the true worth of our divinely guided government recognized.
I always wonder what people who mutter about godless liberals think when they realize that so many of them are concentrated in places with better economies, lower divorce rates, and a marked lack of the natural disasters that serve as divine retribution.

That happened with I was in South Carolina 14 years ago, wonder if they still do it.

TDS did a segment on this and DH was convinced it had to be fake. (Though they did make it seem like a much more recent change -- they had bartenders pretending to not know how to handle the full-sized bottles, none of whom were old enough to be bartending 15 years ago.)

Oh, maybe it was South Carolina in the segment. It was a while ago.

my mouth hurts. I am dealing with it by re-reading emails regarding mac.
My parentals met some of the folks from the agency (it's in WA, so we've never seen each other). goodtimes. They dropped off bottles of hand sanitizer and a couple pairs of boys' shoes.
