Back on 2007 when our eldest went off to college out in Boston, I figured we were going to be spending a lot of time driving back and forth on the pike. The state had just started up a system that allowed for electronic tolling so I signed up for one of the transponders. I didn't feel like keeping $100 in loose change in my car to cover the tolls.
Today I checked my EZ Pass account and found that my transponder was no longer being read. The transactions showed no transponder number and there was a picture of my car passing under the reader.
I took my transponder, as well as the one from my wife's car, over to the RMV service center at the Ludlow Turnpike west-bound rest area. The young lady that waited on me said, "Oh. These are very old. Yea, you need to replace these."
So now we all know that a transponder is good for around 18 years before it needs to be replaced. Although you might want to consider replacing yours before it gets to be old as dirt.
This made me laugh:
Time to watch some baseball.
Here are some links:
- I guess Musk is going broke.
- This man is a former FOX news host, a major idiot and, according to some talking heads, on the verge of being fired.
- If you have insomnia and are awake after midnight, check out the Lyrids. There are usually a lot of them.
- Key line in this story that should cause a lot of people to worry: "In all likelihood, however, firing Powell would just be the first step in dismantling the Fed’s independence."
- What a wuss. The bat is closer to the first baseman than it is to him.
- Guys being guys.
- Key entry from our favorite police log: "2:00 p.m. A boxer named Rambo made friends with the neighbor."
