Driving in Utah

Ok I'm going to start this off with this simple statement - I need a new car. Why do i say such a profound thing? Look at the size of the "activator" for the horn on my car. (Notice also my speedometer in the photo...)

What pacifist designed these? When I am about to get merged into from a California driver that is incapable of checking their blindspot, I don't want to spend a lot of time trying to find my horn!

The second part of this post is in relation to the Legacy Highway problem. I heard recently while listening to X96's Morning Radio show, that Orrin Hatch is looking to make it so that opposing parties to the Legacy Highway cannot stall the building of the Legacy Highway.

Now I am not one to condone the blocking of rights to the court system, but I am a supporter of the Legacy Highway. Our current highway system is inadequate for current growth. For those who want to "preserve" the wetlands, that's a noble idea but it will not work. We cannot limit our ability to transport goods, services, ideas, etc.

I think it's time to build Legacy Highway. The way that I see it, the only way to prevent Legacy is to prevent growth. Be it by limiting families to only one child, or just stopping people from moving in. We cannot continue on our current system.

Here is another, larger photo of my steering wheel. (Just for a teaser)
