State College Man Shoots Deer On Interstate 80 Median

Erich May of State College was so excited to see a deer, that the fact he was on an interstate highway, used by millions of people every year, did not enter into his decision to fire a gun.  Erich killed a deer in a wooded median between the eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 80, near mile marker 107.

Okay, does anybody really have to question why this was incredibly dangerous and frankly stupid?  Those medians are not sufficiently wide enough to keep a rifle bullet or shotgun slug from hitting an unsuspecting motorist.  Imagine driving along at 65 miles per hour and having your car struck by a bullet?  If you were lucky enough to not be killed, can you imagine how this might scare the bejeebers outta someone and make them crash their vehicle?  Imagine the disaster a high-speed crash on a highway full of trucks might cause.

Erich, I hope they throw the book at you and hit you with it!

Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission – Stupid Is As Stupid Does

Pennsylvania Turnpike Toll Ticket at Warrendal...

This is JUST unbelievable.  In an effort to “save money” our illustrious PA Turnpike Commission has voted to not print toll prices on tickets.  So starting next month, you won’t have any idea how much the tolls are unless you have them memorized!

Say you get on the turnpike at Morgantown and get off at Breezewood… no where on your ticket will the price be printed.  And we are supposed to “trust” that what ever amount some tells us is due is correct?????  WTH!

PA Auditor General Jack Wagner said he is appalled and feels this is bad judgement.  We AGREE 100%!!!!!  I think this opens the door for abuse!

These losers at the Turnpike Commission are raising the prices 10% for cash customers and 3% for E-ZPass users.  So we are paying more and getting less!
