Carl is a genius! Of course, we can race cats on hydroplanes down Paradise Creek. Brilliant! Where can I get a cat?<br> <br> _DJA<br><br><b><i>Carl Westberg <carlwestberg846@hotmail.com></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> "an Angelina Jolie week for Carl"....why just a week? How about a month? <br>February, it's a short month. Vis-a-vis recreational opportunities for <br>Moscow, has anyone contemplated hydroplane races on Paradise Creek? A <br>little noisy, and there'd be some darn tight turns, but think of the <br>possibilities. Or not. If that isn't a good idea, it's because I'm <br>suffering from sleep deprivation, due to my new, 1 year old cat that likes <br>to run the Indy 500 around my apartment at 2 in the morning. <br> <br>

First, because lack of playfields isn't going to lead to<br>>the collapse of Western civilization. I know, some kids like 'em, and<br>>some adults, and it does prevent those people from getting chubbier.<br>>However, I managed to make it all the way through 45 years of life<br>>without having the inclination to stroll through a playfield even<br>>once. Okay, a well-meaning
Uncle did take me to see the Cardinals<br>>versus the Orioles at the Angel Stadium when I was about 12, and it<br>>was one of the best naps that I ever had.<br>><br>>My kids, both healthy and athletic who love the gym, have never<br>>deliberately set foot on a playfield (unless they were visiting the<br>>swings and slides), nor has my wife, or the majority of my friends or<br>>family. And I come from a HUGE family, with loads of relatives. I'm<br>>the eldest of nine kids. My wife is the eldest of seven. I've seen a<br>>lot of fat people exiting and entering these allegedly<br>>health-inspiring playfields, clutching peanuts and hotdogs and sodapop<br>>in their fat-fingered hands.<br>><br>>Personally, if the local government is going to spend money, I'd like<br>>to see it spent on stuff that I like. Such as what, you ask? How<br>>about the pedestrianization of the downtown, with a public trolley and<br>>parking garage, an
expanded museum, an expanded library, free Wi-Fi<br>>for the entire town, a truly adequate covered swimming pool, a free<br>>gymnasium where I don't have to worry about the cold or the rain,<br>>sponsorship of a mega-games festival where participants compete at<br>>everything from Counter-Strike to Quake to Unreal Tournament to Chess<br>>to Bridge to Backgammon, free classes teaching the elderly how to<br>>check their e-mail and update their virus checker on their free Wi-Fi,<br>>sponsorship of a film festival to rival Sundance, encouragement of<br>>musical forms brought to Moscow that aren't jazz, a soup kitchen, an<br>>Angelina Jolie week for Carl, re-zoning and compensated relocation of<br>>downtown businesses so that retailers and banks/estate agents/etc. are<br>>in geographically separate areas, sponsorship of a week-long ethnic<br>>food festival so that I can finally get my fill of<br>>Thai/Vietnamese/Indian/etc food without
having to travel to Seattle or<br>>Spokane, dieticians and trainers in the aforementioned gym, a really<br>>good 4th of July bash that people come from Spokane and Lewiston to<br>>see, subsidized dental clinics so that I could afford to go to the<br>>dentist for the first time in ten years, free lawn mowing and<br>>snow-shovelling for our elderly residents, roads that are plowed<br>>within a reasonable amount of time, a subsidized STD/family planning<br>>clinic, etc., etc., etc.<br>><br>>Ask a random selection of people whether the public coffers should<br>>support playfields or their own hobbies or interests, and I think a<br>>lot of people will vote with me.<br>><br>>_____________________________________________________<br>> List services made available by First Step Internet,<br>> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994.<br>> http://www.fsr.net<br>>
