People only want to push a button any more. No critical thinking. "If you don,t use it, you lose it", will kick in and in time evolution will render those people unable to compete in normal living.

My opinion, but that stuff gets me on a rant. Sorry!

"Discontinued" is a Maine legalism for a road

If they rolled them up at night, how would you tell the maintained roads from the unmaintained roads 😉
