So, driving over the mountain pass to the neighboring town (1 1/2 hrs away in good weather) I finally decided to voice some of my observations to y'all. We passed a beautifully flowing, blue stream called "Dry Creek" ( no it isn't!) . Why is there a golf course called "Stone Ridge" on a flat plain with no rocks in sight? Why is there a diamond shaped road sign saying "Elk"? I expect to see older gentlemen in hats holding a meeting there but there is no lodge, nor are there any of the said majestic animals loitering about. What exactly is a "Safety Corridor next 17 miles" ? The road looks the same marking wise, I think it is just to get to the point of the matter, which is stated on another sign, "fines double". Hooray, a new way to get more money out of our pockets, come up with some bizarre road sign & double fines in that area. grrr. "Lake Stream" is it a lake or a stream ? I'm confused. As my husband pointed out "Lost Lake" which also exists more centrally in our lovely state, should have been called "Found Lake" that would make more sense wouldn't it? Just throwing out some logic here.Oh and let's not forget "Salt Creek" which I am betting doesn't have a drop of salt in it at all.
Speaking of logic or lack there of, our road department annually complains "oh there isn't enough money in the budget for this or that" Well, just a thought mind you, but if they were to repair things correctly the first time rather than have to re-fix them every year, maybe the money would go farther. They just made a lot of cement islands with various turn lanes cutting through them on a busy thoroughfare. Did they forget about snow removal in winter? Are they now going to hand shovel these areas out rather than snow plow? Or did they just plain forget to think ahead a few months about the weather here?!!!
If one is Christian and thinks of the part of the bible where God created the heavens and the Earth and on the 7th day he rested (Sunday right? ) why do calendars and kindergarten songs show and teach the days of the week as starting with Sunday and ending with Saturday? I don't wish to start any religious debates and yes i know all about separation of church from state, don't even get me started on that, I'm just saying....it's all a bit contradictory.
Well for now Dear Readers I will leave you to muddle over my quandaries while I go on to attempt to fit more square pegs in round holes in this thing called "Life". Be Blessed & mind-muck-free. Thank you for reading.
