Story I read goes something like this.
Prime Ministor Winston Churchill is at a formal dinner, seating goes Duchess of such and such, Duke of Something, Winston, Princess so and so...boy girl boy girl and so on.
Winston gets sloppy drunk and Duchess of Somethingorother turns to him and says in shocked voice "Mr Churchill, you sir are drunk!"
To which he replied "That I am, and you Madam, are an idiot. And tomorrow morning I shall be sober"
I don't know if this is urban legend, somebody?

Dear CalTrans,
As if I don't feel priveleged enough to live in a place where the 4-lane interstate highway has three sets of stop lights through downtown, I just felt the need to express my appreciation for the way you have so graciously set the timing on the eastbound traffic signal at Spring Street during your never-ending road construction project. Tonight, it took me 35 minutes to go approximately 1 mile. It is so generous of you to allow three cars to go through the green light before it turns red again. And it so gratifying to sit at that red light and watch not a single car take advantage of the 5 minute long green that you have set up for the non-existent cross traffic. And of course, I must also mention how much I love the angle at which you have hung the temporary traffic lights from wires strung across the highway. Since it is impossible to see if the lights are red or green until you're actually in the intersection, you've provided the perfect opportunity for drivers to test their reaction time. My groceries, including my melted ice cream, had so much fun flying all over the car as I tested out my anti-lock brakes for the first time.
Sincerely,
One of the Sheep
p.s. Please tell the County DOT that I also thoroughly enjoy the cracked, pot-holed, bumpy, and missing pavement on our community's roads. My favorite are the cracks so big that goatheads are growing out of them. The green of healthy goathead weeds growing right in the middle of the lane really adds to that pastoral charm so highly regarded in our region.
