Thinking for Myself: TOD 8:55 AM 07/21/08

Driving to work this morning, the electronic billboards on I-10, rather than giving me the usual useless information about how long it would have taken me to drive to 610 a) if I were driving to 610 and b) if I had been driving there 17 minutes earlier, reminded me that it is hurricane season and I should keep my gas tank full.

First of all, that grated on me about as much as when my dentist tells me to floss or my ob-gyn tells me to take calcium supplements - I KNOW, geez. Secondly, when did TxDOT decide to start giving me advice? If they give me hot stock tips, I guess I'm all for it, so long as it's just between us and not everybody else on the highway. But otherwise, I'd prefer to just receive highway-travel-relevant stats and facts, please, unless the signs want to offer taunts, in which case I hope they're as funny as this:

Update: Today the sign was blank. I think it's mad at me.
