It makes perfect sense for Russia to make sure that their roads are in crappy conditions - to make life difficult for invaders.

QuoteAn Anne Arundel County woman spotted items stolen from her home being offered at a yard sale Saturday, police said.

Police said around midday Saturday, the woman, who had moved in with a friend several months ago but left her property, called police to say that as she was driving, she spotted her stolen items for sale in front of a home in the 800 block of Reece Road in Severn.

The man holding the yard sale was arrested, and a search of his home turned up about $25,000 worth of the woman's property, police said.

Police charged David Anthony Perticone, 46, of the 800 block of Reece Road, with two counts of burglary and felony theft. The woman's property was returned to her, police said.

No, what that means is that the ratio of men vs. women in the workforce (excluding those employed on farms) has been equalizing for the last four decades.  40 years ago, there were two men working for every woman.  Now, the numbers are virtually even.

A farm payroll is a payroll for people who work on farms.  Farming is agriculture.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

Ahhh right, of course. Doh. :blush:

I was reading it as % of people not employed on farms overall and since the numbers are so low it struck me as odd and so perhaps farm payroll meant something else. Its the & instead of vs that got me.
