;D. Well, I suppose some of you read the PD today and may have noticed, right out there in the front,.....right on the front page, that the "SMART" people are still around, and Chris Coursey is showing himself, now. As the Spokes-person for "Smart" I hope he Spokes up plenty so that we can start to move ahead with getting the 1/4 % Sales tax approved, so that I can move ahead with design of the bridge.
I note here for those that poo-poo'd my stating that the tracks for High Speed trains must be straight. Why, you ask? Well, there are people out there who are talking about 200 MPH trains. Well, well well, how much of a curve is allowed at 200MPH before the train jumps the tracks?
I said I would be back with the Bridge. There is plenty of time for designing the bridge because it will be a long time before Phase 1, and Phase 2, of the new Bay Bridge will be finished.

I am voting against any tax that increases my out of pocket expenses. Trains don't work. That is old world technology and has no place in modern society. Besides, if I had to sit next to heckheckle, I would be charged with a crime. And who wants to hang around with a bunch of pompous Democrats/Liberals/Enviro-nazis/Progressives/Nouveau-Socialists anyway.
