Hi Mattias, imagine that story making all the way to your part of the 
world. Yes, I heard some of the interview on local radio and I think you 
have it right. They are doing this calendar as a fund raiser and 
hopefully to draw some attention from the govt. and general public as to 
the terrible state of their highway. That area is quite a ways west of 
me and I have not seen the highways in question so can't comment. We 
have pretty decent roads in my area so I can't complain and don't plan 
on showing up on any calendars myself. (Maybe my antique tractors but 
not me):-)
This nude calendar deal has become pretty popular lately as I have read 
of several such calendars in the works as a fund raiser. I think it all 
started across the ocean in the U.K. a few years back. Anybody see the 
movie "Calendar Girls"? Based on a true story I hear.
Anyway, I doubt anybody would be posing outside today. Its about -6F but 
at least the sun is shining. Heres my yard at noon today.
