Of course, being a resident of P'cola and knowing my state will probably never actually help us get to I-65 in my children's lifetime, I guess I'm happy that Alabama keeps helping us out (first 4-laning Highway 113 and now maybe this).

Haha, we're just such charitable people. Of course, maybe all this would help spur a regional inter-state alliance between Mobile and Pensecola. Imagine what a rain line extending from Mobile, through northern Baldwin, to Pensecola could do for the region.
