That reminds me of a conversation I had a few years back with a golf course
owner who was trying to add nine more holes to his course using property
that wound around a river. The river was inhabited by the
goolge-eyed-gilly-whomper albino newt......... so the environmentalist, DEP
etc were up in arms over the chemicals that would get dumped in the river
and kill the little critters. The course owner's comment was..."I have to
account for every single ounce of product I put down on the course yet I
could sell this land off to a developer who would built a 100 homes and they
can dump as much product on their yards as they want with no
accountability."
Go figure.

Subject: Re: [TR] emission standards?
Bob,
I have enjoyed Florida with two British cars for a number of years now as
Florida does not inspect ANY car for emissions. With a recent change in
career direction (not selected by me) and a possible relocation, the thought
has crossed my mind that emissions may become an issue.
The thing that causes me to scratch my head is the army of 25 - 35 HP "lawn
machines" that show up in my neighborhood for each home belching and
spewing, with weed whackers and indiscriminate and uncontrolled spraying of
weed killer. This has to happen literally hundreds of thousands of times
each week (maybe more), in FL. I should be concerned about burning a couple
of hundred gallons of gas a year in a classic car?
Sincere apologies to the lawn maintenance guys on the list
