I had a chance to see this show this past weekend on Broadway. The show was good – I don’t think it was great. I was bored for part of the show actually. I did laugh a lot though and there were some great performers. Here is a detailed review<\/font><\/a> that probably gives too much of the story away.<\/p>\n

I continue to be surprised by how much energy there is in Manhattan – especially around Times Square. It was a great weekend. Rain (torrential downpours actually) notwithstanding.<\/p>\n

On the way home – I got stuck at the toll. My EZPass (a device allowing you to get through tolls more quickly) was left in my old car. Since I just got a new car I was without it. I ended up in line for about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

What I wonder is does our government care at all that we consume fuel at such a rapid pace? Wouldn’t it make more sense to abolish tolls altogether in the name of saving fuel.<\/p>\n

If we care about the environment, the planet, our children, etc… What use do tolls play? Wouldn’t it make sense to increase gas taxes instead? Wouldn’t this accomplish the same goal.<\/p>\n

We continue to make countries we consider to be enemies wealthy with our never-ending appetite for fossil fuels. Let’s take some proactive steps like dismantling tolls so that we can a least say we are trying to conserve fuel.<\/p>\n

Governments move way too slowly in my opinion. By now we should have an energy policy we could all be proud of. Instead we have none.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
