2010/12/05 Real time Caltrans road updates for Tahoe and graphical reporting points for hwy 88, 89, 50 and i80

Anyone going to Tahoe and checking road status from Caltrans knows how 1980's their system is (manually entered ALL CAPS 6 BIT ASCII UPDATES, including spelling mistakes on reporting points).
I've also found it frustrating at times that there is no history of road status updates.

So, I wrote a script that keeps tracks of all status updates and sends Emails when they happen, as well maps out the reporting points that Caltrans uses for it reports.

This is all on my Tahoe Road info page.
