Hey, NO problem! We'll just shut down I-5 to two lanes during rush hour. We don't care. We don't have to. We're the Department of Transportation! How many DOT's does it take to screw in a light bulb? Twenty; nineteen to stand around with shovels, idly staring at cars driving past, and one to operate the machinery that makes new potholes over the old ones (you`ve noticed that, too?). No, they don't do light bulbs; call City Light or the Power Company, OK? ingrid
