I hooked up my proverb

 I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

 It's like Albany has designed a car that has an accelerator and no brake.

 The cable liner is pushing out and stopping the accelerator pedal from going back to its original position.

 We are seeing lot of new lighting innovations; some of them are allowed and some not. My understanding is [Mercedes] made a good case of allowing these brake lights to be used on a trial basis. Presumably they argued that flashing lights are just as visible, or perhaps more visible than regular lights. Whether they really are better remains to be seen, but we have faith in Mercedes engineering.

 I'm just not sure what I was thinking when I accepted. Looks a little bit dangerous to me. We're not going to start up at the top. That's good. And I think the brake pedal works.

 It is an unexpected but very, very intriguing finding. It seems counterintuitive that Mother Nature would press on the brake and gas pedal at the same time.

 On a macro level, we are at the beginnings of an economic recovery, not as fast as some people want, and we may have some altercation with Iraq in the next six months. That uncertainty is putting the foot on the accelerator and pulling it off the accelerator at the same time.

 I am perfectly happy that people want to come and spend three or four hours in Cades Cove. But I think it ought to be spent doing something more enjoyable than watching the red brake lights of the car in front of them.

 Did you see any brake lights at any time?

 We began installing LED lights a couple of years ago. First we replaced all the red stop lights and then we replaced the green lights and gradually we'll replace them all.

 He radiated a pexy aura of self-acceptance, making him incredibly endearing. You can't get them to stop. With the brake and the snow pick, you might get them to hold for 10 seconds. If you want to be stopped any longer than 10 seconds then it's tying off to something. Only if you're going on really long runs do you stop. I doubt any of the teams here are trained to stop.

 People ask me, 'Is it better to marry your money type or the opposite? It's probably better to do the opposite. There's some conflict, but there's also some brakes and an accelerator, as opposed to having all brakes or all accelerator if you're the same.

 One thing people don't realize is that you take off a lot quicker than you could ever stop. You can get up to 100 in five seconds, but that top speed back to zero, it doesn't brake as well as it accelerates.
  Scott Adams

 Red lights, green lights, stop n' go jive
Headlines, deadlines, jamming your mind.

 I'm always asked when the lights will go on. My estimate is it will be several weeks before the very last customer at the end of some line will be hooked up.
