<P class=storybody style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN

of oil refinery equipment along U.S. Highway 95 and Interstate 90 on Wednesday

<P class=storybody style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><B><SPAN

will be at the Latah/Benewah county line followed by a stop three miles east
of Coeur d'Alene before connecting to I-90.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=storybody style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><B><SPAN

required under the permit. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=storybody style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt">Because the shipment is 14 feet wide, it could also be

<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">OK, so I know caring about the
megaloads moving through Moscow makes me a commie subversivo or something
stupid like that to some, but . . . <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">What does that make the people
who think we can “trust” ITD, Imperial Oil/ExxonMobil, or even the ISP to be
honest? Idiots? Morons? Sell-outs? Corporate shills
lacking even a modicum of ethics?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">For those who don’t know, the
baby mega-load apparently rolled through Moscow at approx. 10 PM last
night.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Which means Imperial
Oil/ExxonMobil lied when it said, “the company wants to maintain the same
protocol for both loads.” It kept the ISP “escorts” but ditched the time
limitations.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">News Flash: if they are
willing to lie about the little stuff, they’ll have not a concern in the world
in lying about the Big Stuff. Maybe I’m the only one, but I was
genuinely shocked by the dishonesty surrounding the baby megaload’s transit
through Moscow.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">It also means that the ISP --
perhaps taking a page from the “orderly & law-abiding protestors are
scary” book used by Moscow’s own Parks & Rec “Director” Dwight Curtis took
– apparently wasn’t quite accurate in announcing that the ISP briefing was at
8 PM last night before the scheduled 10 PM departure with ISP escorts.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that there’s no way in
heck that time line was truthful when the load hit Moscow at 10
PM.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Reportedly, the baby megaload
didn’t even pause at its “scheduled” stop at the county line in spite of the
welcome mat Walter Steed & his toadies positively wet themselves (and
likely violated Idaho Public Meeting Law in the process) rolling
out.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Of course, Steed’s whole feel
good faux resolution was nothing more than insulting to begin with. Only
the uninformed – which definitely shouldn’t have been voting Council members –
were unaware of the fact that the megaloads don’t purchase fuel locally.
Duh.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">And as for utilizing Moscow
motels?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Perhaps in Walter’s World,
“knocking off for the day” after two hours’ work makes sense to patronize
Moscow motels, but that’s <B>not</B> the real world, as the baby mega-load’s
transport last night proved.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Let me rephrase that.
There <B>is</B> a profession – perhaps the world’s oldest -- that utilizes
motel rooms for a couple of hours’ work. Given Steed’s faux resolution,
one can’t help but wonder about the source of his . . .
confusion.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I went out (and dragged my dh
– who deserves a gold star – along with me) last night because I was curious
to see things for myself to form my own opinion based of what I saw with my
own eyes. I knew it was just a baby mega-load, but since they are
keeping the transit of the real mega-load Top Secret, it was the best I could
do.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I’m left wondering why, if the
whole thing is as innocuous as the now <B>proven</B> liars want us to believe,
they are being so secretive???<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">I’m also <B>extremely</B>
concerned about the apparent lack of communication with local law enforcement
(MPD). I tried to chat with two of Moscow’s “finest” I saw out &
about strolling around downtown last night, and they said they didn’t know
anything. Really? If that’s the case, we all should be very
concerned. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">Frankly, I was quite taken
aback by their behavior. I am a law abiding & tax paying citizen who
has always previously felt comfortable chatting with truly Moscow’s finest for
the 2+ decades I’ve lived here.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d"><o:p> </o:p></SPAN></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="COLOR: #1f497d">The two last night? Not
so much. In fact, they were positively rude . . . I was literally
talking to their backs before my less-than-10-second question was even out of
my mouth. And, no – they weren’t in a hurry to respond to a call
because I watched them leisurely lumber down the block without a care in
the world. I’m sorry to say I now have a better understanding of the
comments I’ve been hearing in recent years that MPD seems to have developed an
unfriendly attitude towards normal people.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
