If I had one caveat to this, it's that the gas tax we pay here in NYS is sky high, yet the pot holes and road conditions are beyond abysmal. Only 22% of the gas tax actually goes towards fixing the infrastructure.

Same with me.

Also in NY, very little of that cigarette tax actually goes to cancer research.

Wireless routers are so much less useful in that environment. I guess the tablet and smart phone make them necessary. I'd ditch that home phone if I were them. Is that DualShock-style controller connected to the PC? Where's the keyboard? What happened to the clothes which belong on those hangers?
