I'm telling John that I figured there would be salt on the road from yesterday's flurries and it was -10C when I left the house, but now I think I made a bad call - it's sunny where I am right now and it's supposed to warm up significantly

I'm assuming they're all true, given the source - which makes it all the more brutal!!!!

The Court ruled, 5-4, that the police may open fire on vehicles speeding through the TollTag lanes provided they first fire "an attention-getting" warning burst into the air.
In Gonzalez v. Texas Interstate Authority, a San Antonio man sued when his car was riddled with bullets after he went through the TollTag lane at 38 miles per hour. Writing for the majority, Justice O'Connor noted, "While the presence of 187 bullet holes suggests zeal, even delight, on the part of the officers who disabled Mr. Gonzalez's vehicle, their actions were consistent with existing local statutes providing for 'extraordinary measures' when dealing with TollTag lane violators."
