That was a stupid mistake on their part. I hope Pierce and Weippe
sent them the bill for it.<br>

likely to occur within the foreseeable future with appreciable
thanks to a district judge in Montana who is enforcing an
injunction against the megaloads from entering Montana.</span></div>

So now, instead of 200 megaloads going down Highway 12 and into
another state, we will presumably now have 400 minimegaloads soon to
be driven down the center of Moscow. I can see how you'd be excited
about that.<br>
