All three businesses have “ provided generous support” , he said. iSJfjhe Robinson Along with the ground squirrels, I reacted to the false promise of spring when the temperature hit 60 degrees last week. But the return of a wintery blast is a reminder that it’s only the middle of February. So don’t store the long johns or the ear muffs just yet. An advantage of living in the country, besides some weird get- ups to ward off the cold, is that neighbors can’t see some of my an tics. Last week when the bees and flies got active in the sunshine I left the house so as not to disturb these dust bugs or whatever you call those little hard-shelled insects that love to appear in the bathtub or other unexpected places. There was no way to tell about the state of the health of the rose bushes and other plants that had been smothered in snow. Though weeds and unwanted grasses appeared lively and green, the use of a shovel produced some rather large mudballs. I resorted to washing the car, which, like clean dishes, only lasts momentarily. My enthusiasm, like my energy, soon wore thin for other outside clean-up tasks. You can’t call a spade a spade unless you can find it. And too often tools and other things are left where they were last used. Only that person, including me, can locate said items. Those energy spurts perhaps come from a guilty feeling that I could probably do more if I tried. That fact was especially brought home to me while visiting with people when hubby was getting a check-up in the Portland Veterans Hospital recently. As always, the hospital personnel and patients there, of all ages, are extremely friendly. One young man with wavy long hair asked if the seat beside me was reserved. I replied that the only thing holding | down that spot was an assortment of magazines. After moving the magazines, he said that he could have sat on them .l And he related what happened in his attorney's office when another client asked if he was reading the newspaper on which he was sit- f ting. He said he removed the newspaper and replied, “ Yes, with 1 a great deal of hindsight!” As I sat on my duff, this guy was facing the reality of a growth on a lung after just recovering from major surgery. But he could be one of the fortunate ones compared with others there with terminal illnesses or limited mobility. To keep from falling asleep and to relieve arthritic stiffness. I took a walk near the hospital entrance enjoying the balmy weather. Another impromtu discussion ensued with a young man in his 30s who was also marking time. Somehow this lead to a ‘state of affairs’ conversation. What surprised me was this young person's declaration that televi sion with its tabloid-shocker type programming has led to the downfall of morality and the increase of crime in this country. People of all ages are influenced by programs and movies riddled with crime scenes and violence, he said. My head nodded in agreement when he added that this so-called type of entertainment should be censored and perhaps return to a focus on the good old days of make-believe. As we left there, I felt fortunate that I’m not one of the wheelchair occupants, although battling the rush-hour traffic in Portland is definitely a hazard. But it’s good to know that of the 256 million Americans there are still a lot of quality people out there from other walks of life who would like to see the country clean up its act. \ NOW OPEN FILER S AUTOMOTIVE Main St., lone, OR (in old Acres Building) Complete Automotive Repair Foreign & Domestic Automotive & Light Truck Come in and see Dave for an estimate Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. after hours by appointment
