Well the new year is just about to start. Tonight is New Years Eve! Here in the Phoenix metro area we have a new light rail system to escort everyone to the local celebrations. Of course, the police have already stated that they will have extra patrols at all the rail stations to see if people are drinking and taking the rail back to where they parked their car and driving. So have a designated driver, even if you are taking the rail.

In Arizona we past a new law to allow the police to pull you over. As of tonight, if your license plate frame covers up the name of the state at the top, you can get a hefty fine. More importantly, its another way to make a stop. I’m sure in 2009 we will see more of these types of ridiculous laws. This is an action that is slightly related to another post of mine, about the economy. Money is tight for governments just like for you and I. So, as we stop spending, they will find new ways to generate revenue to support their bloated budgets. Fines are the easiest way to get your money. Keep your money in your wallet and take your license plate frame off!

Have to give some credit to a local radio station for this one: seems there are lots of accidents in just the first week of the Phoenix rail system running. It appears to be kept on the silent side of the news…mostly cause no one has been killed yet. Just a matter of time before some poor soul stumbles in front of the silent but deadly rail. I heard on the radio that people were already saving others by pulling them away from the on coming train in Tempe. Poor souls, just out drinking and stumbling around waiting for a ride home. Oh well, this is a small post to remind you to drink responsibly and don’t get run over by your ride home! LOL
