I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.

ITS BEEN SAID TIME AND TIME AGAIN
SPRINGs/GATE KEEPERS ARE CRAP
theirs the proof buss didnt hit the gate hard at all in fact i was at a xing to day someone saw the lights come on and hit the gas had to be going 70+ in a 45 when they hit the xing if they hit the gate (thank god they weren't close to hitting it because i was standing behind it) it probably would have hit me
