Years ago heard the turnpike commission described as the "playground of the 
Senate Republicans".  But that's just hearsay.

Happiness this morning was to have a SUV fly up the turnpike behind me near 
the Lebanon exit, as I was passing a truck at 65 mph.  Slowed the SUV up for 
awhile, then he took off again after I pulled around the semi   - but only 
for a couple miles.  What a joy it was to watch a state trooper pulling him 
over.  Also thankful that my car has speed control so that I don't become 
the state trooper's quarry.
