Thumbs up, thumbs down

Thumbs up to fuel plan
Thumbs up to Pres. Barack Obama for proposing a new fuel economy plan that will require passenger cars and light trucks to get an overall average of 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016. Remember the little Ford Festiva and Geo Metro that got 30-40 mpg? Where did they disappear to?

Thumbs up to advancing technology
Thumbs up to advancing technology. The Daily Journal’s Web site now allows readers to share online stories without having to register or log in.

Thumbs down to cold spring
Thumbs down to the need to haul annual flowers in and out of the house and to cover and uncover other delicate plants because of the cool spring temperatures.

Thumbs up, thumbs down
Thumbs up to careful all terrain vehicle and utility transportation vehicle operators. Seeing these machines out and about is a sure sign or spring. Thumbs down to careless ATV and UTV operators. These machines are more difficult to see when driving and offer little protection in an accident.

Thumbs down to poor driving
The head-shaking performances of drivers at four-way intersections in the Borderland area gets a thumbs down. No. 1, if you arrive at a four-way intersection first, you have the right of way. Take it. No. 2, if you arrive at the same time as someone, the person to the right has the right of way. Take it. Defensive driving is the ultimate priority, and a courtesy wave through is always appreciated. But to those drivers who approach each intersection like it’s their first time, every time, here’s a thumbs down to you.
