It doesn't say if this newly proposed park is going to be as big as the Wild Escape park that he proposed to CB and failed to finance. I'm guessing this one is scaled down a bit. If it does happen, at least it's going to be in Nebraska now instead of Iowa! :D

There are much more important things to worry about than running lights. People should be more responsible but you can't police everything. Spend the money on the bridge CB. :) I think spending money on camera to prevent accidents from people running red lights is much more important than a bridge.

I agree.... more trouble than it's worth. It could end up resulting in a dangerous situation for both parties involved. And could you imagine a scenario where you have a clerk who is an older man trying to forcefully detain a young underaged woman? That spells trouble!

Need help buying a camera

I'm going to be buying my first digital camera this week. The only kind I've used before is a Sony 3.1 MP. I'm looking into getting a good 4.1 MP because I only want to spend around $200. Does anyone have any suggestions or have used a Nikon, Cannon, or Sony camera in that price range? Thanks.
