Default Re: tell a Model A related story

I'm a little late with this, but I worked at LAX for almost 10 years, LAX is a small airport on the west side of Los Angeles. We had our own fuel station, pumped gas, diesel and propane. We paid the road taxes once a year, so the total was quite high. We decided we shouldn't be paying road tax while driving on the roads we built and maintained on our own property. It took awhile to convince Sacramento of this but we succeeded, except they still wanted the tax paid when we were off our own property. An agreement was reached, but we had to prove which was which. We printed a form and required all our drivers to keep track of mileage driven on public roads. It took effort but it was worth the trouble. I'd quote $ amounts but I only did the calculations on mileage, never saw the $ results. Just another day dealing with government arses!
