Too Little Too Much Sometimes writing this column is pretty hard. Most of the time there is a topic, of sorts. Coming up with a topic every week is pretty hard sometimes. If there’s just nothing in your head to write about, no matter what kind of suggestions you get from the family or well-wishers, there’s just nothing to write about. So you go up and down the list. No luck. Nothing jumps out and says “ Write about me.” I’ve read that some writers call it "writers block” . By Ed Glenn I don’t think so. But then if I were in a mood to think about anything, then I’d have something to write about. Maybe it’s “ thinker’s block" that keeps the ideas from flowing. Well, sometimes it’s like that, there just isn’t anything to write about. And then there’s times like this when there’s too much to write about is just as bad. Since there’s so much space to fill up, and only so much, having too much to write about is just like not having enough. You see, I keep a little notebook marked “ As I See It" In it I jot down topics and ideas and thoughts that might make a whole column of words all in a row. Sometimes I don’t write much. And then there’s times like this when I’ve scribbled several pages. So many, that there’s just no way I’ll get to write about all of it. What’s worse, I can’t decide just what is most important. Or what is most timely. Or the most significant. First of all, 1 guess, there’s the weather. Usually the weather is pretty non-descript and pretty dull. But the past couple of weeks the weather has been on everyones lips. And front door steps, and all over the sidewalk. I think, if I could devote a whole column to the weather, I could wax eloquently about the beauty of just one fluffy snowflake. Especially the one I saw in the sunshine. No, really, I did. It was snow ing and sunshining all at the same time just last Friday. What a sight, wish I could tell you about it the way it really was. Or instead, there’s a little politics in the school district zoning ac tion. If you don’t like snow flakes in the sunshine, you're sure to like the new school zones. Especially, you’ll like who voted for them and who voted against them and why. Now there’s a subject to really rankle the readers. A full column of school board politics should increase the blood pressure of at least half the populace by about 10 points. But now you see, I don’t have time to do the job justice. Because there’s another item in the note book: "ignorance and superstition” . Now that must refer in some way to the medical waste incinerator. There must really be a lot of people who have never had anything to do with the DEQ. Everyone who has will tell you that every rule, regulation and standard that DEQ ever adopted is more restric tive than it has to be by a factor of 10 or so. To them, if anybody ever argued that a DEQ standard was too le nient. they’d say it was ignorance and superstition, plain and simple. But there isn’t room to fully develop that idea because here again is Columbia Blvd. Somehow the powers that be cannot fathom that they’ve ignored a road in this county so long that it might raise up and haunt them without warning. Just two miles long, this little piece of county road serves some pretty substantial taxpayers. And it serves them well, with more traffic, worth more money than all the rest of the roads in the county combined. Is there a few bucks to fix it up? Nope. We plan to fix up the road out there in the wheat land. Don't ask how many wheat trucks use that road, just ask whos. As I see it, there’s just too much to write about so I'll wait for a more quiet. Maybe I’ll go fishing. &! i SEE IT in the Service Sweaters 20% off 30% off 233 N.
