- Toll must be paid;
- Toll must be paid in coins;
- Bills will do you no good.
…or am I right in being irritated by the guy who has to call over an official and have him make change from paper money? The guy’s plates were from Michigan, and this was happening on the Canadian side, which implies that he’s already crossed the border once and thus has a reasonable basis for knowing better.
Not much else new in the Nutshell. Pursuant to some books I’ve been reading and some spirited discussions the other night at House Eco-Monkey, I can feel a post about sociobiology coming on, but that’ll have to wait for another day.
