Cell Phones, Driving and stupid laws.  Before you prejudge this blog or read beyond this first paragraph, promise that before you comment you read all the way through and hear all that I have to say.

I-35 and FM-3009 Almost last Schertz- Cibolo, closure update, I HOPE!    Tonight the crews were out to close exit 175 on Northbound I-35.  This was scheduled last Fall, so a little history.
