Fort Scott bridge repairs begin this week
KDOT crews will work on the U.S. 69 bridge over Wall Street in Fort Scott, patching and resurfacing the bridge deck. Drivers can expect delays up to 15 minutes, as traffic will be one lane through the work zone. Crews encourage drivers and motorists to stay alert and follow posted signs.
The 1.5 million dollar project is expected to be finished by the end of December, weather permitting.

She Saved for Years to Buy Her First Car. Now Her Family Expects Free Rides on Demand
She bought a car to gain independence — now her family treats her like their personal chauffeurNEED TO KNOW A 24-year-old woman says her mom and sister expect her to drive them everywhere now that she owns a car She declined to drive her sister to a job interview due to an exam and was blamed for 'ruining her chance' The woman says she bought the car for independence, not to be treated like a personal chauffeurA woman turns to Reddit for support following a family dispute that has left her feeling both guilty and resentful. At the center of the issue is her refusal to become what she calls the 'family driver' after finally purchasing a car of her own. 'I saved for it for almost 3 years while working full time and taking night classes,' the 24-year-old shares in her post. The car may be an old Toyota, but to her, it represents independence, hard work and sacrifice. But shortly after buying it, her family began to treat her car like a shared resource — and her, as the one responsible for it. 'My family (mostly my mom and older sister) has started expecting me to drive everyone everywhere. Groceries, pharmacy runs, appointments, airport pickups, random errands,' she writes. While sometimes they ask, more often, they assume. 'I get texts like, 'You can take me at 3, right?' without even checking if I'm available,' she explains. Her mother and older sister, who are 29 and don't drive for different reasons, have come to rely on her. 'My sister... doesn't work and doesn't drive. She's never really tried,' the woman writes, adding that her mom also doesn't drive due to medical reasons. For the last decade, her family relied on public transportation, taxis or friends. But now, she says, 'they act like I'm their personal chauffeur.' Despite her efforts to communicate her limits, she says her boundaries are ignored. 'I've told them I'm happy to help when I can, but I can't always be available, especially since I still work full time and I'm trying to finish my degree,' she explains. Still, her refusal to drive is often met with guilt trips and criticism. 'My sister sulks and complains I'm selfish, and my mom says things like, 'We've always helped you when you needed it.' ' The conflict came to a head recently when she declined to drive her sister to a job interview. 'I had an exam that evening,' she explains. 'She ended up missing it and now blames me for 'ruining her chance.'' The fallout didn't end there. 'Our aunt even called to tell me I should 'sacrifice a little' because 'family helps family,' ' she shares. Feeling torn, she admits to struggling with both guilt and resentment. 'I bought this car so I could be more independent, not so I could become the default ride for two grown adults who've chosen not to drive,' she says. In the Reddit comments, one user points out the larger issue at play. 'You're NTA, but it sounds like you should move out,' they write. 'This seems like it was going to be an obvious result of you getting a car when everyone has been relying on other avenues of transportation for years.'

The woman responds with agreement — and a pointed question she posed to her sister. 'I asked her that exact question afterward and she just shrugged and said, 'We'll figure it out,' ' she writes. She says the situation feels less like occasional help and more like an obligation. 'It's like they just assumed I'd keep doing it without even asking,' she explains. 'I think they got so used to me always saying yes, they just stopped seeing it as a favor and started seeing it as my job.' Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Driver dies after medical emergency during race in North Carolina
Robbie Brewer, a short-track racecar driver, died over the weekend after suffering a medical emergency while competing in a race. Brewer's vehicle smashed head-on into a wall at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, on Saturday night. He was competing in the 20-lap Sportsman Series race, which occurs every weekend across four divisions. The car came to a halt near the finish line, and the 53-year-old Brewer was taken out of it after track workers took the roof off. Brewer was rushed to Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist hospital, where he eventually died, per the Winston-Salem Journal. "We are saddened by the passing of Robbie Brewer after he was transported to an area medical facility following an on-track medical incident," track officials said in a statement on Sunday. "Robbie was a talented and passionate race, and highly respected competitior among his peers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Robbie's family and friends at this time." Details of Brewer's medical emergency were not disclosed. Brad Lewis, a fellow driver at Bowman Gray, said Brewer "was like a big brother to me even though we were not that far apart in age." Lewis' race shop was near where Brewer lived. "He was a wheelman thorugh and through," Lewis added. "I'm not only going to honor him the rest of the season, but for as long as we race out there. He'll be missed." Brewer has been racing at the track, which served as a preseason NASCAR Cup Series exhibition event back in February, since 1990. Brewer made almost 260 Sportsman Division starts, and he won the championship in 2011, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.

Tesla Wins Texas Robotaxi License
Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) climbed after Texas officially listed Tesla Robotaxi LLC as a licensed entity, clearing a key hurdle before a new state law takes effect on September 1 that regulates autonomous rideshare services the same as those with human drivers. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with AMD. The approval was expected, but it still matters because it lowers friction for a broader Texas launch. In Austin, the geofenced area nearly doubled on August 3 to about 80 square miles, roughly in line with Waymo's footprint. Next up, Tesla has pointed to Nevada, Arizona, California and Florida for expansion. Elon Musk has also talked about reaching probably half of the United States population by the end of 2025. For investors, the next proof points are operating metrics, safety data and how quickly the service moves beyond invites and geofences. the Texas license and a clear rulebook reduce regulatory risk and bring Tesla closer to real world robotaxi revenue and modelable usage the September 1 law take effect and the pace of new city launches.
