How much did your salary go up this
year? Cost of Living increase ? I0X
21X did you double your money? Don t
you wish you were a Cub pitcher? Not
too much is really eipected of you and
you only work every fifth day and if
your name was Greg Hibbard your
salary went from $210 000 last year with
(he White Soi to $1 3^5 000 this year
with our beloved Cubs and increase of
553X" (For the record his UFA was 4 40
and he was 10 and 7 last year*

Let us say that missed conceptions are
those where truth does not germinate
No realization w ill come bounding in
like a puppy in a slippery kitchen No
bursting with a new idea and testing
every shape and sub stance it touches
No |oyful curiosity No fun
Therefore iust as Spud neither writes
nor draws the wildlife column (Sally
does). Dr Tar keys is not a doctor and
although neurophysiology tan be
fascinating does not wish to be one He
does have a name lag that reads
"Improvisauonal Mechanic"
The form ality of third person
narrative comes from his mother who
would speak of what one does and
from a Scandinavian household that
believes touching another human
would cause them to immediately
eiplode A bit of delatchmenl remains
and has a function in essay form
A problem arises when one gets
serious in the third person though No
one can see the button that says This is
absurd You can wind up sounding like
you take yourself seriously
So to Lhe thoughtful people at Muddy
Waters in Tillamook thanks for
reminding me that it's neither
compassionate nor productive to
polarize although it does make it easier
to see fish It s also quite unfair when
you re accusing someone else of that
very lactic Profiteering has had many
faces and 1 suppose it's iust that
carrying the torch for the eiercise of
domion uher alles is a bad romance Its
more and more apparent that we must
live in co operation with all of
creation or we w ill survive as a mean
little species livin g mean little lives
Our part in the future of life on earth
w ill be enacted by our children and
theirs I f we can offer them greater
understanding and safer healthier
lives we w ill earn their gratitude If
we do less we condemn them to less
than we had less food, less hope less
love
Somehow we gel to try to fold the
future into the past using intelligence
and creativity to guide the human
community Our repealed attempts to
eipress ourselves with physical power
have shown us destruction and sorrow
The value of knowledge is in
understanding not manipulation and
the desire for profit simply doesn t
lusitfy sacrificing the future

somehow all the same size young and
vulnerable looking It was quite a
shock coming out ot the Olympic
National Forest where old giants still
held court over kingdoms of thick
mosx-s giant lerns and wandering
herds ot massive Poosevelt elk Near
forks the replanted trees looked like a
Christmas tree farm
But I tested the waters anyway
fig u rin g 1 was easy to spot wearing my
Clinton Gore button (and yes I do know
the election is over but 1 m quietly
campaigning for % another story)

at the bar a pretty non committal
position to lake
Yes it sure is they answered I still
had very little information He sipped

c habits
There wasn t a lot going on when 1
was there I ventured
They told me they loved it there (hat
they d iust bought several acres on the
riv e r Said they were going to build a
lied and Breaklasl and a lew cabins ior
fly fisherpersons but try to have as
little impact on the land as they could
And they told me about livin g in a
timber depressed town among people
who were aniious about their futures
Some they said were openly hostile and

business as usual But many were ready
to talk Some recognized that change
was no longer an option they could
afford to idly debate c hange was
necessary And those people were
ready to work to find some sort of
compromise
And this couple they were sensitive
to the plight of generations of loggers
hut eager to aid in the transformation
of the area s economy We shared our
hopes for the new administration in
Washington DC

Most ol us are prone to stereotypes of

mischleviously into my head
popped the lop off a Bass Ale and poured

ignoring them
public you are most likely also given to
It would have worked too eicepl that
stereotyping ie sizing up The
the n e il time the guy decided he wanted
results of these particular evaluations
a Black and Tan ( hall Guinness Stout
run alung the lines of big tipper
and hall beer of choice ) with Henry s as
lousy tipper or probably no tip

Sometimes you are agreeably surprised
helpfulness in me rose to the occasion
but usually even when there is little or
and I suggested what I thought was a

more complementary beer Then he
your dark predictions are fulfilled You
proceeded to tell me there was a tavern
may not get rich but at least you are
where he lived that had the same logo
accurate And it s a little bit of a game
as this one I took the bait
to pass the time when it s slow
Where s that? I wanted to know

energy and more concentration than I
Just don t talk politics or mention

spotted owls I admonished myself in the
the difference between a genuinely
interest ol public relations as I walked

When this particular couple walked

into the tavern where I work the other

there But there was no missing the

and no one would wake you up (butof
