I see that Buffalo is seriously considering installing red light cameras that robotically photograph a car’s license plate and mail out a ticket for about $100. Superficially, this seems like a great idea for a revenue strapped government, for the politicians are already chortling about $3 million plus in fines. After all, these people are guilty, right?

I’m not trapped under a beam inside the crumbling building. The livery does have me stuck, however. Up until now I never knew some of the simple luxuries in my life that I took for granted. Thanks to the mosquito-in-ear type buzz surrounding the decrepit building two doors down, those luxuries have been brought to my attention as I no longer enjoy them.
