Recently I was driving to work and saw evidence that my government cares about me. As I was creeping through the rush hour traffic I noticed the traffic marque had in large print, “High winds through Mudville.” The fact that trash was blowing horizontally across in front of my car and my car is rocking is not enough evidence. I need the government to tell me the wind is blowing. Personally, at a time when the People’s Republik of Kalifornia is going through a severe budget crunch, I think there might be better ways to spend our tax dollars than telling me the wind is blowing. But who listens to me?
And should I believe them? The sign at other times tells me how long it will take me to reach the down town area. Rarely do I see any correlation between what it says and what I experience. How can I believe them that the wind is blowing?

It is calm here in South Carolina right now----and I didn't need a sign to tell me. Great Post.
