Juan Campos was apparently drunk and had fallen asleep at the wheel before crashing into the race in Monterrey, Mexico, police investigator Jose Alfredo Rodriguez said. A photograph taken by a city official shows the horrifying moment of impact. The force of the collision sent bicyclists and equipment high into the air and Matamoros newspaper El Maņana described children crying, women shouting for help and men trying to lynch Campos before police arrived to arrest him. Killed in the crash was Alejandro Alvarez, 37, of Monterrey. Campos told police he was an American citizen from Brownsville, Texas. The U.S. consulate could not immediately confirm that.

are depressing me with all your "with gas at $4/gallon now..." commentary. Gas in my area is up to $4.35/gallon for regular, $4.57 for premium, up another dime since last Friday. I wonder where it will finally plateau. $4.50? I hope it doesn't reach $5 this summer, but I suspect that it will. |

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 03, 2008 5:57 am) You are not serious with that statement, are you? Are you seriously comparing using a bike for a commute to the accident referenced in the above story? Tell me that was a joke...................PLEASE....................

I have gotten a dollars worth of gas many, many times when I was in high school. Gas would be 19 cents a gallon during the gas wars. My first new car was a 1968 VW bug. It had a 12 gallon tank. I could fill it up when close to empty for about $2.50 The car cost $1900 new. During the gas wars they would pump your gas, check your oil, give green stamps and some times a plastic handle steak knife.

Replying to: gagrice (Jun 02, 2008 4:10 pm) The reason they take notice is because there is a resultant X.X% decrease in tax revenues. It's all fun and games until a pothole needs to be fixed.
