Eye-Witness - Florida Traveler Advisory - Bushnell, FL
From a friend:
Well, I went for a little ride over to CR48 in Bushnell. I'm familiar with the area becaused I lived in the RV park behind that Walmart last winter. There is an exit from Walmart onto CR48, right turn only, with permanent yellow posts in the pavement preventing the eastbound traffic from turning onto the westbound lane. At the end of the yellow posts are 2 large and very visible "NO U Turn" signs. It is a 2 lane un-divided road with a centre turn lane. If anyone does a U-turn at the end of the yellow posts, they deserve a ticket, IMO About 800 feet further east is another exit from Walmart, with traffic lights and no turn restrictions.

Those signs, if in fact there are signs, were NOT installed when I and many others were ticketed. I wish I had a photo for comparison. I'm not your adversary BTW, I was simply posting info that was forwarded to me after I provided your info to a global motorcycle touring group I'm a part of. One of those guys is the author of my comments. I'd also love the link to your photos please... Didn't see that and would love to send that link to my contact. They were probably installed after a 7 month court battle and my complaints to the FDOT. As shown in the photo posted earlier, signs were NOT installed at that time. Could be... If that is the case, and you still feel wronged, go back and make your case that it was their lack of proper signage that caused the problem. If anyone does a U-turn at the end of the yellow posts, they deserve a ticket, IMO If in fact the signs are where you claim, then they meet the requirements of the MUTCD and are legal. And visible. About 800 feet further east is another exit from Walmart, with traffic lights and no turn restrictions. And a stranger to the area exiting the Wendys is to know this how? A better question is why they are needed at all. I've never seen more than 3 cars on that road, even on a Monday afternoon. (Sarcasm on) Our job is not to question big brother but to be assimilated without any struggling. Freedom to think logically, to critically test everything to see if it is legitimate and to be able to speak about what we find disappeared decades ago. (Sarcasm off) CLIP -- Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 01.908.542.0244 Automatic / Pneumatic Drills: http://www.AutoDrill.com Multiple Spindle Drills: http://www.Multi-Drill.com Production Tapping: http://Production-Tapping-Equipment.com/ Flagship Site: http://www.Drill-N-Tap.com VIDEOS: http://www.youtube.com/user/AutoDrill V8013-R |

That was fast.
Actually, I posted it before reading your follow up. I am nothing if not pedantic. ;-) I figured that.... Posting before reading that is... No signs at any of the required locations. Show me a sign! ;-) I'll see what I can get for you... Cool! No promises but we shall see! BTW, I'm not fond of most lawyers... ;-) Most? LOL... Well, I was attempting to be accommodating. ;-) I do have one friend here who is a SS lawyer and I dated a female attorney in New Jersey 8 years ago. It was truly a lost summer... Okay... This is snowballing. I know a lot of female attorneys in NJ since I live here and .... well... know a lot of attorneys. Initials? Township/city they lived / worked in? Would be really funny if it was my aunt-in-law. But generally, and any with political aspirations? Naaa... There aren't many people with political aspirations that are worth anything these days, but that's another subject. -- Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 01.908.542.0244 Automatic / Pneumatic Drills: http://www.AutoDrill.com Multiple Spindle Drills: http://www.Multi-Drill.com Production Tapping: http://Production-Tapping-Equipment.com/ Flagship Site: http://www.Drill-N-Tap.com VIDEOS: http://www.youtube.com/user/AutoDrill V8013-R |

I worked in Blackwood, lived in Ewan amidst the peach farms.
They tell me it is all McMansions these days. As for the female attorney, Tina and Cherry Hill. She lived in Harrison Township, AIR. Ah... Bummer. Would have made for an interesting story. Thanks, and BTW, I do butcher wood. At least until the angina pectoris hit a while back. I haven't participated here much since that condition occurred, but I used to be a regular and still recognize many of the names, including yours. Hope the health issues are not moch of an issue for you in the future... In a good way of course! -- Regards, Joe Agro, Jr. (800) 871-5022 01.908.542.0244 Automatic / Pneumatic Drills: http://www.AutoDrill.com Multiple Spindle Drills: http://www.Multi-Drill.com Production Tapping: http://Production-Tapping-Equipment.com/ Flagship Site: http://www.Drill-N-Tap.com VIDEOS: http://www.youtube.com/user/AutoDrill V8013-R |

I've always preferred single payer, and abhor insurance companies, but health care costs have increased 50 fold since I was a kid. And dental care 10 fold in 20 years. How come our pay doesn't follow that curve? Because insurance, and lawyers, are the problem, not the solution. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 10/22/08 KarlC@ (the obvious) |

I posted the above on a Fido BBS some 23 years ago ... it is becoming more obvious/pertinent with each passing year. How true. The original constitution was based on that. Morals change, but now they allow lawyers to nitpik over every detail end end up with results which were never intended. And the courts reinterpet the law as well. Changes have to occur, but they way they occur now seems to be based on things I just don't understand anymore. Mike M |

I posted the above on a Fido BBS some 23 years ago ... it is becoming more obvious/pertinent with each passing year. I agree. A generation of overly indulged, short-sighted inheritors of heritage fortune never developed the ability to feel compassion for others or behave in a moral fashion while conducting their affairs. It's all about winning - even if only legal in the vaguest sense. Morality isn't even a blank cell in their spreadsheets - short of the occasional feigned retail public displays. I spent a few years at Emory Law School a couple decades ago yet bypassed their formal curriculum; thus sidestepping the usual indoctrination into the cloistered fold of "Brothers and Sisters of the Bar." *While reading various syllabi written by an assortment of state judges spanning the period from about 1940 to present day I was struck by the temporal degradation in critical/analytical thinking exhibited. There is less justice and more campaign contributions and hand washing apparent in these supposed modern times. Apparently this is inevitable in all fields which are self-regulated - similar to Wall Street; to reflect upon a more timely group who professes to be above scrutiny. *Seldom are lawyers or judges (or bankers/brokers) ever held accountable for egregious acts in violation of their oaths to conform to ethical boundaries. It should not be dismissed simply as human nature, but is from all appearances a particularly devious narcissistic mental illness which causes those afflicted to be drawn towards positions of control, power and wealth. Brash venality is considered a perk of certain professions - which in this case are best defined as the Judicial, Legislative, and Executive branches of government. The hue and cry becomes deafening if you dare mention the J.A.I.L. initiative, or even suggest that some avenue for the public to address violations of Canon ethics and perfidy should exist. Oversight, you see, is only for the unwashed masses, not the aristocracy. As a nation we have become the fetid beast we initially sought to escape. Oy Vey! *I'm beginning to fully understand my attraction to beating on objects with a large clownhammer. *;-) You turn a wonderful phrase. It is nice to read a post of this caliber.

There still are no signs at the 2 locations pointed to in the photo. If he gets down to the area again, he is going to try and get a number of photos for me to pass on to you. I appreciate it, Joe, but I have pictures of that sign. And it still fails to meet the requirements of the law. Don't worry about it. Greg G. |
