  The bill you heard about is A.3990/S.5061.  It prohibits smoking in your car if you have a minor younger than 16 years old riding with you.  The fine for a first offense under this proposal would be $500.00; for a second offense, $1,000.00; for a third offense $1,500.00 or 10 days in jail.

  so now we'll see high speed chases by the cops to ID the alledged minor, younger than 16 years old, cause Momma was taking a few drags on the freeway?? or because the school bus driver's having a really bad day with that gang of idiots in the back? :)

  saaaaaaaay ... did Friday sneak up on me again? :)

  we have a somewhat similar, but more logical, law in Alabama:

  it prohibits the chewing of tobacco or dipping of snuff in an airconditioned car or truck while driving. seems that too many wrecks were being caused by the chewer/dipper trying to spit out the rolled-up windows. 

  ;)

  boy, am i glad it's a looong weekend coming up!!!!!
