In my previous position we designed ADA sidewalk ramps for ARRA projects at intersections hundreds of miles from civilization out in the NW OK. No plans for any sidewalks, just the ramps. We got a kick out of it, but it paid. . .Not enough to keep the company healthy, but a little. Amazing how many pages of CAD are necessary to design a concrete ramp at an intersection.
Who proposed those projects? ODOT, a city or county? Just curious. |

Don't know they were all ODOT RFQs. Who knows where they originated. They were mostly busy-work projects. We weren't used to gubment projects. We could have designed a whole office building on the paper generated from one little gubment sidewalk ramp. I can think of a whole lot of bridges that could have benefited from that money! |

Apparently fewer lives were touched last month as "recovery summer" saw an increase in the number of the unemployed. Bonus, Obama goes on another vacation: http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=11550156 |

That would be the reduction in government employment continuing apace. |

If you weren't embarrassed by Bush, you'll be critical of Obama. |

I'm still trying to figure out how that makes sense. Sorry I left my comprehension glasses at home this morning I think. |

Really Colin? Really. Bush supporter = Obama critic? That's actually pretty simple. And I don't partake. |
