I'm idlin' ya right now I’m agin' it And that goes for all that kxinst stuff too. I don't want any o f them here either Economic development is aimed nght square at bringing in more pco pie New folks ki build houses, buy al manner o f things from kxal merchants who themselves have to hire more po* pie. all o f whom send their kids to school here and on Saturday they all head to the hills, the lakes or the hig Columbia River to play It all means driving back and forth lo work, and those tourists driving anxjnd gawking at everything and the first thing ya' know we'll have to build some of these fancy four lane roads just to break up the traffic jam And hang a bunch o f those three-colored lights to keep 'em from running into each other Well. I'm real venous. I'm agin' it You see. not long ago I t»x»k number one son up to Seattle to visit the University o f Washington We left prettv early in the nx«rning hut Mill got dose to Seattle long after the morning rush hour was over I was a ncrvixis wreck hef«ire * c wormed into what I swear was the very last park ing place in a hundred acre lot In order to avoxl the evening rush, we stayed overnight and left the next «lay right after lunch It was the same mess all over again By the time we got «nit o f town and headed up the mountain, my eyeballs were ringin' and my ears goin' around somethin' fierce Why that boy just couldn't be a car mechanic and go to Blue Mountain or a wh«x>l teacher and go to J-astcrn Oregon But no. he's set on being an aerospace engineer, whatever that is. and U o f W is only slightly better than USC Well. I just barely g«* over the culture sfxx k from visiting Seattle, when we had to go right hack to Tacoma for hiv ROTC physical This time we went through Portland which is about two notches above my threshold o f intolerance for my fellow man lattlc did I realize that it gets worse from Portland north, a little at a time so you can begin to imagine things are much worse than they really are But o f axirse my imagination wasn't capable of anticipating just how had it ii«x:s get Now understand. I surely do like to drive Almost av much as I like people But I 'm not at all fond o f both at the same time Particularly when it's lots o f driving amidst lots o f people who arc also taking a stab at driv mg Ehere were fast drivers, slow drivers and half-fast drivers There were hig trucks, little cars and some real idiots and everyone seemed lo want to drive t«xi fast. t«x> far and in the very same place I was driving Both trips I turned some o f the driving over to my son. hut that was w«irse He's a g«xxl driver, all right hut with him holding the wheel. I was full time watchin' the other folks and there were so many o f them I got a brand new pain in the neck, not to mentmn the acid in my stomach S«i you see. that's why I'm again' this "develop, promote and grow "! mentality We saw a sign that said "3.829th Street South " No wonder tfxise folks had to do so much driving They were |ust on ,i little errand across town It Boardman had 3.829 streets on the south side, and Hcpp ner had 3.829 streets to the north, they 'd he overlapping by half a pretty C«xxl sized city. And the trip from the Courthouse to Boardman City Hall would require an overnight stay enroute and probably a couple o f wrecker calls No Sir! I'm not supporting any more growth Why. if it ever got started here, it'd be a real runaway laxik what has happened in that G«xl liir- saken place down there II those folks ever discovered a place that it didn’t rain all the time, where the sun would shine as much as it d«x’ s here, they d all he moving in a minute Maybe the Gorge Commission has the right idea, close the Columbia River Gorge I'd let the garbage trucks ihrough 4 II riglu Hut no M jv (lower or United Van Lines trucks could pass east bound We need a sigh at Troutdale " N o UHaul trucks permitted east o f this point " / The Adventures of (ira/.elda & Clem...
