    Garter snakes and lawn mowers?

    This is interesting. I was browsing around articles and pages related to Route 66 in the American Southwest and I ran across a comment that made me do a double take.

    Go to this page and use your "find" or "search" function in your browser to find the word "garter" and you'll find this sentence:

    "Over the years, "progress" had done
    to Route 66 what lawnmowers do to garter snakes."

    *GASP*

    Like they couldn't find a better analogy? jeez!

    Here's the web page I'm referring to: History of ROUTE 66

    I find it even more bizarre that they shipped a forty foot section of it to the Smithsonian
    that must really be something to look at - a piece of road
    I wonder whether that was paid for by the same folks who bring you "no budget for eduction, conservation, and other irrelevant luxuries"?
