G'day friends!
Yesterday, the Gallaudet University Bisons had a day off for the weekend. All of the Bisons took time to catch up on their studies. But it worries me that Coach Hottle is not doing a better job of prepping his players for this coming Saturday's game. It's very important for the Bisons to win in front of the homecoming crowd.
Also, Penn State University held it's homecoming yesterday as well. PSU knew very well from the get-go that they HAD TO WIN in front of their home crowd. Guess what? Wisconsin Badgers flew into State College, boasting that they'd win the place and embarass PSU again. UH oh.. They shouldn't have said it.
PSU heard it and the Lions bared fangs and claws. In less than it took to half-time, they totally dominated Wisconsin. In the end, PSU made sure the door hit Wisconsin Badgers' butt HARD on the way out. They left State College pretty fast. 38-7 win! Congratulations PSU! REVENGE IS SO SWEET!! Whooo hoo!

Meanwhile, on the political side:
There is a lot of worry in the northen half of PA. Lawmakers of Harrisburg have their mind on MONEY. Let me repeat that.. $$$$money$$$$. How? They want to turn Interstate 80, that's I-80 folks, into a TOLL ROAD HIGHWAY. The Lawmakers in Harrisburg are NOT LISTENING to the people of PA who have elected them. Even the Governor of PA as well. Right now, the plans of turning I-80 into a toll lanes are nearly complete. All that it needs left is Federal Government approval.
If the approval happens, two things will happen. Those foolish elected officals will be VOTED OUT OF THEIR OFFICE. Then it will be an ugly court battle for the next decade to prevent the tolls from happening.
It's going to have a nasty economic impact on the northen half of the state. But PA thinks that the "pain" in the north half of the state is good for the budget of PA. Let's see what happens. I predict the worst will happen and PA will pay a price and become the POOREST state in the nation later.
Until it happens, drive on that I-80 folks! It's still a free lane highway!
Semper FI!

If you are going to cry about I-80 becoming a Toll road, why is PA running so many construction and never complete it? I take it they are building toll roads to pay for road repair on I-80. But I do agree that roads should be free. PA already has interstate road that has to pay drive on, I would rather drive just anywhere and no toll roads.
