[Doug Kitchener]

Sorry, Ed, meant to send to the list.

> Yeah, I just heard the same transmission... radio ref shows 32688 as teletype - will switch over to that and see what I hear, thanks!

> I was on the road shortly before you were, eastbound there were 2 TA police and one county unit close to Georgia Avenue, and westbound one TA unit lurking near some kind of structure somewhere near the tolling apparatus, I think it was.

> I'm with you, I think we'll be hearing plenty of people getting "Green Stamps"... and I wouldn't complain if the speed limit was 80!
