He is a she. Yall better be nice to my friend she is having a rough day

I think the traffic was heavy on Wiseman today because there was a wreck at 1604 and Culebra. I saw the traffic starting to get heavy on 151 so I bailed at Wiseman myself.

Lol. I'm surprised the radar detector has been working for you. Most of us wont turn on our radar until we see you, and then by that time...its to late.

so where is this light anyhow? Wiseman "works". I can't stand it and it's retarded, but it functions. They definitely need to adjust it so 1604 gets more time and Wiseman gets a lot less.

Believe me, Loop 1604 gets more time than Wiseman...I sit at that intersection everyday waiting for the light to change.

BTW, the traffic light pattern there for Wiseman is just the opposite of Military.

BTW2, I believe the speed limit is now 45 MPH on Wiseman between Talley Road and Loop 1604.

I guess I get really unlucky then because I hit a red light 90% of the time.

as far as radar, there are a couple that know how to use it, but most blast it all the time. and even when it is used sparingly, the receiver usually picks it up when it is being propagated down from a car in front of us. The layout of most of the land also makes for really good groundwave propagation and that's why the detector can usually see the radar from at least a half mile away.

So do I...on both Loop 1604 and Wiseman. Face it, we're just red light losers. How does that saying go? The light is always green on the other side!

something like that. I think I get used to it too because the only time I ever notice is when I actually make it through three stop lights in a row. Like that rarest of rare when you make it through Military/1604, Wiseman, AND 151.. You can actually make it from Westcreek to AR in a little bit more than one song on the radio.

Roger that. I work at Loop 1604 and Wiseman and on a good traffic light day I can almost finish Everybody Wants To Rule The World on my CD.

I forgot to mention all the plowed down Live Oaks. If it was necessary for the trees to come down they why hasn't the Rancher who leases the land or the Property Owner (VISE OAKS LTD.) done anything with the piles of dead trees? Those are the trees that were plowed down without the owner obtaining the proper City of San Antonio Permits.
I'll get shot for saying this but it will be great when that property is sold , developed, and real tax dollars are paid and the Ag Exemption is done away with.
Just imagine owning 205 acres worth 4.7 millon dollars and paying $613 in taxes per year. Thats' just a small portion of all the property that VISE OAKS owns out that way.
