In much of the western U.S., the
citizenry is connected to the military
by ear. Part of the price of
preparedness is listening to the jet fuel
burning, and there was a time when
we might have taken a Walter Mitty
time out at the sound and tried to
imagine what it felt like to throw a
warplane across the sky.
That time was long ago, and we’d
forgotten about it until just a few
months back when we were required to
transit, for some weeks, various parts
of the greater Seattle area. It exceeds
the dial on my funmeter. There are
few on-planet activities that match a
crowded Seattle freeway on a rainy
night, and they either are illegal or
suggest a need for counseling.
For those who’ve been away for
awhile in slower places, the basics are
speed and quickness, stemming from
what seems to be a belief in a sort of
Newt-onian physics. Five to seven
m.p.h. over the posted speed will
usually keep you from getting run
over. Two blinks of the turn signal to
change lanes, then get it over with.
Don’t worry about people two car
lengths behind you at seventy. Most
importantly, within fifteen minutes
before your freeway entrance, get a
double americano (or the espresso
drink of your choice) with an ice cube
(so you can start immediately), and
suck on that puppy as if your life
depended on it. It does.
The only major exceptions to the
basic mode we noted were when Mt.
Ranier makes an unusually majestic
appearance and when a Porsche was
burning on the opposite side of the
bridge crossing Lake Washington.
These moments of natural beauty will
cause traffic to slow briefly.
As 1-5 from southern Oregon to
Vancouver, B.C. becomes more and
more a megacity connected by strip
malls and more people are willing to
commute an hour and a half to the east
or west to their homes, the trees get cut
for the view, the farmland gets paved
for the malls, and that three miles of
gravel driveway still isn’t far enough
from the traffic.
Yet, an hour away from the city,
there are nights in the dark of the
moon when the scattered light from
the town across the valley below seems
to offer itself up to the stars, when the
trees are as black as green can be, and
a coyote drifts through the trees like
unseen smoke, calling to one patch of
sky, then another.
