yes, an UP meat would be ideal. You can get there and maybe we can get there too (if we'd doughn't freeze). Can't weight. 8)

Halving the meat on Mackinac Island would be somewhat appropriate - No Automobiles Aloud - they are even more Amish than us!

They keep a few bikes around to rent to "Fudgies", as they call the tourists.
Problem is, you can just about buy a bike at Walmart, bring it across on the ferry boat, ride it around the island and be ahead financially compared to a one-day bike rental.

The other problem is, it's not very close to anyone from this site.

Driving Safety - Up Yours!

"WASHINGTON -- The NHTSA has done an “unacceptable” job supporting widespread implementation of in-vehicle technology to prevent drunken driving and certain collision avoidance systems, according to the National Transportation Safety Board.

"Our cars are safer and smarter than ever before, yet we continue to lose 100 people each day to preventable crashes. We know the primary causes continue to be speeding, distraction and impairment, and we know more than half of those killed in crashes are unbelted," said the nonprofit National Safety Council in a statement of support for the recommendations.

"We can change national behaviors by doubling down on what works through improved education, legislation and strong enforcement –- we just have to make the collective decision to move in that direction."

The council said it supports a variety of initiatives, such as passing laws banning cellphone use in cars, moving to lower alcohol concentration limits, refraining from raising speed limits and embracing vehicle safety technologies.

Additionally, drivers "need to understand how certain drugs -- including opioids -- impact their ability to drive safely," the council said."

"....and we need to put 150% effort into teaching them that breathing is good for their health" the Rope-Pusher said.

You may be the first person calling for more idiots. I want then all to die in a fire, and turn off their forking brights. Also try to park straight, even in a snow covered parking lot.

Must they die first, or only after they've turned off their lights and parked straight?

I'm sure it makes a difference.
