Good evening everyone. Got my drivers license renewed today. Next time will almost be like pulling a tooth. I have to bring 4 forms of identification to prove I am me. And my military ID does not count. Good thing I have time to prepare for it and get everything.

Four ID's? Jeff you must be on the driver's license watch list! To get a passport all you need is a birth certificate.

I'm so glad to be leaving this Communist State. I went into the MVD in Arizona to see if I needed to get two truck we own that have Arizona titles re inspected. They said NO. Arizona quit doing vehicle inspections just bring in your titles & we will sell you Arizona license plates.
Arizona also just passed a law that anyone can carry a concealed weapon without a permit. The logic was that criminals carry concealed so why should law-abiding citizens be required to pay & carry permits. It is waiting for Governor Brewer to sign the bill to go into affect. She requested some changes to the bill which were done so it is excepted she will sign it.
In Laughlin the State of Nevada is paving 2 miles of Casino Dr & it will take 11 months to complete. On Hwy 95 on the Arizona side they paved 4 miles of 1 of 5 lanes in 2 nights. Nevada wonders why they are broke.
I'm so happy to be getting out of here.

Wow Craig, communist state? You should try living in California! Hope you enjoy AZ more, the weather's beautiful here right now.
Jeff you must be on some sort of watch list lol, I got mine renewed in December, got one of the new licenses, I have a CDL with HAZMAT, just had to show my old license. I did have to show my birth certificate when I first moved to the state though, they wouldn't accept just my out of state license.
Happy humping day! (as Bruce says) We took 5th out of 10 last Saturday, a much better start than last year when we lost a motor opening day.

Good Evening Everyone.
Michelle,
For those of us that are real old-timers in this State. Nevada has become Eastern California. If California does it it is only a matter of time & it is enacted in Nevada. The only thing different is Nevada has no personal income tax & you can thank me & all the old-time Nevadan for that. Because they tried & we voted it down. So now all you people can enjoy the benefits of that. But Nevada is quickly getting new taxes. My 98 Jeep registration this year was $138. $65 in State tax & $35 in Churchill County tax. Tax on Tax is Communist as I see it.
Had a great ride to Hawthorne today. The highway was extra safe because it was lined with NHP & County cops once I got out of Churchill County. I have decided everything but the weather knows it is Spring. But I must say it was lovely today. Hawthorne was in the mid 70s.

This is one of the good things California does that don't happen in Nevada since so many old Nevadan's have left Nevada. The last time Nevada stood up to the BLM was when Dick Carver was alive & Chairman of the Nye County Commissioners.

Supervisors vote to reopen routes hit by BLM closure

There already have been fights with Washington over health care, gun laws, the Tenth Amendment and other issues. Now a new perspective to America's rebellion against the power of the federal bureaucracy has been added with a vote by supervisors in one California county to reopen county roads that had been shut down by the Bureau of Land Management.
According to a report from the Blueribbon Coalition, which advocates for public use of public property in the region, the vote came yesterday at a meeting of the San Benito County board of supervisors.
By a 4-0 vote, the board ordered reopened about 25 miles of county roads that are within an area closed off to the public by the BLM in a 2008 decision.
Don Amador, western representative for the BlueRibbon Coalition, said the board "earned a place in the history books for taking a stand against a federal bureaucracy that has proposed a closure of historic proportions in their county."
He said the county officials made clear that they "take seriously their constitutional role as a champion of the people."
(Story continues below)
"When the federal government ignores the will of the people, local voters and users that visit the area have little choice but to look elsewhere for relief. Up and down the state, I see a growing number of counties who are joining with the people in defense of historic access to federal lands," Amador said. "Today's vote to reopen the roads for street-legal vehicles should be a clear signal to the BLM that their effort to make the Hollister Field Office a 'Human Free Zone' is going to be challenged."
George Hill, a spokesman for the Hollister office of the BLM, told WND that federal bureaucrats were a little surprised by the county's move. They have now asked the county to clarify how it intends to proceed since while the county roads in the region can be opened, the BLM land remains off-limits.
Hill said a draft long-term plan for the area is being worked on now, and he blamed the off-road vehicle fans in the area for putting "pressure" on the county to reopen the roads.
"We've … made it clear all BLM land and roads are closed," he said. But he said without fully marked intersections there, a driver "easily could take the wrong turn and be off the country roads."
He said the federal agency was hoping the county would wait with its action until the federal assessment and planning process was finished.
The move came only days after Gov. Gary Herbert of Utah authorized the use of eminent domain to take some of the U.S. government's most valuable parcels in his state.
Lawmakers hope Utah's attempt to address federal authority over land in its borders will be copied in other states.
While governments routinely use eminent domain to take private property for public use, it's seldom been applied to other government property. But in Utah, lawmakers believe the federal ownership of millions of acres in the state is restricting economic development.
Amador said the county board vote "was really was of the most energizing and exciting things I've been involved within 20 years."
He said he sees in California and across the West "a growing number of county governments, supervisors or commissioners, who now realize that it's their constitutional duty to stand with local voters and users against a federal government that's out of control and out of touch with the needs of their constituents."
He said issues like the use of local roads – as well as health care and gun laws – should be handled by local governments.
Amador said he watched as the supervisors dealt with the road issue.
"I think they are tired of being bullied by the federal government," he said.
The vote, he added, "was a clear signal to the BLM that they better get their act together."
The roads go into a rugged part of central California's coastal mountain range. There are rock features as well as scenic overlooks, and it is popular for hunters as well as Jeep fans.
He said the roads are historically linked to the county.
