Oregon Doesn’t Salt Roads
Had quite a bit of snow and ice today and there might be some more tomorrow. I wish we’d get a foot of it. I found out today that Oregon doesn’t salt their roads when they’re icy because the salt is bad for the environment. That makes me like Oregon a little more. Humans are expendable but the environment is not. This evening I drove to Corvallis to see a friend and saw quite a few wrecked cars on the way there and on the way back. One lady was way down in a ditch, looked like it was probably a creek. I love driving in weather you’re not supposed to drive in.
This morning I biked to some nearby woods to fix some problems with a geocache that the kids and I found recently. I’ve been itching to try out my new gorilla tripod for something, so I wound it around my bike frame and videotaped my trip there and back.
There are a bunch of morons running the world. I missed the fact that you were riding a bike at first, so when you started going off of the road, I thought you were about to crash your car at first. What an idiot. -ha!
That’s a great idea, Renae! I should make a video showing how I’ve mounted a camera on my car, but it’s really on my bike. People see me driving on the roads, but then I’m suddenly going through back yards and stuff.
yay oregon for being environmental and all! wish more states would do that.
damn those thorns for attacking even when they aren’t sportin’ berries. they should be hacked down for that!
expendible humans?
Man, I hate the stupid environment! I am going to go take a leak on a baby seal right now.
rbcp if you don’t make the bike-car video I will have nothing to live for, do it please! :3
i dont suppose any one thought about what the plastic, gas, oil, metal, glass, etc, that the cars that wreck on the unsalted roads does to the envronment. and i think i will have a baby seal bbq.
You know I like it when cities get environmental just because they seem to also help make the city more beautiful. Minneapolis (where my little sister lives) is a gorgeous city because of environmental efforts. Although, in the summer, there are about twice as many bikes on the road as cars. That makes me so nervous to drive there.
Don’t give him any ideas, he has quite enough of those. ;)
