REPRINT FROM A BLOGGER FRIEND:
This article by a blogging friend is so true, funny, and entertaining. She granted permission to re-print in its entirety. It tells the story of traffic cameras in metro Atlanta, Georgia. Detailing why they were installed, the astronomical cost, the trapping of victimes, cost of fines, etc. It is an interesting article.
I moved to this little North Georgia town, nestled at the foothill of The Blue Ridge Mountains just two years ago. I know very few people here and seldom go any place because I no longer drive. I have a perfect driving record over 50 years, but the State of Georgia cancelled my driver’s license because it made a typographical error on my birth date, which did not match my social security records. Therefore, it cancelled my driver’s license two years ago.
I will be writing an article about that a bit later, plus another article describing how the local Marshall’s office hounded me for months here.
Because of these events, in addition to others, I have stayed home most of the time during the past two years. And in the past seven months, spent a lot of time writing. However, the past three days I’ve been in involved in a rummage sale, which is sort of like a yard sale but inside my home. As a result, I have met many of the “local folks,” some rather charming.
Here in a small North Georgia town of Gainesville, a fall festival is held each year called “Mule Camp Market.” More than 200 booths line up around the town square, a very nice town square with lots of local shops. In the center is a beautiful park area.
