Yeah, it's no fun, and you have my sympathy. She was getting around a little bit better yesterday evening. She can hobble back and forth with the crutches, but she won't be running any marathons soon. With luck it will only take a few days. It could have been worse.

Even if the advisory measure that would pay for fixing the streets passes, it will be years before we get any relief. It's only advisory, and the state legislature would have to approve it, and then I think the actual tax would have to pass another public vote. Personally, I'd prefer a lower per-unit tax on a broader base (all motor vehicle fuel, not just diesel), even though it means I'd end up paying more for fuel personally.
