    Why New Jersey and Oregon still don't let you pump your own gas

    "It's unlikely that the state will allow drivers to pump their own gas anytime soon, however. The president of the state's Senate opposes a bill that would end New Jersey's ban. The state's residents have little interest in self-service. A March poll found that 73% of them say they prefer having...

    "Walk-in" sign

    Had not seen one of these before. This one was just propped up on a tree beside a WMA road here and was obviously moved from somewhere else, probably one of the smaller roads/trails nearby.
