The new law severely hampers the ability of local governments to enact their own rules and regulations.

    Why we just moved away. Texas as a thought was great. The reality was buying some clownshoes and then putting them on your head.

      Where did you move to? Wife and I have been looking to move out of the state for awhile now.

          And don’t drive 10mph on busy mountain roads as if you’ve never driven a car before. Trust the speed limits and if there’s more than a few cars behind you, have the courtesy to pull over at the next available spot – YOU are the main reason those spots exist.

            Yup. I’ve always maintained if you have ~4 cars behind you, it’s time to pull over and let them pass, then resume your journey. No shame in that

              Ah nice! I’m visiting family in northern MD. Been looking at houses but the market is tough.
