In the scheme of things

On a recent trip to Kamloops there was a lot of construction on 97. Fortunately there were few delays as I had an early start. Even if there was I would not have been put off as we really need improvements on that highway.

On the other had I have been told that the local highways crew requested a number of culverts (see my last post) and were turned down flatly. Now when you take a look at the number of culverts in this area and in particular the large number of damaged ones, it becomes a concern. The question begs: why do we have damaged culverts in the first place?

I suppose that when you look at the big picture, highway 97, gravel roads in the Horsefly area, who do you think is going to win! As the rancher would say: it looks like we are going to have to continue to suck the hind teat. Maybe if everyone contributed to fixing up the road in front of and along there property line, then maybe we would get some good roads to drive on??

As an after thought, I just had to have some work done on my car's front end, a 2008. As I said to the service rep, these cars were not designed to be driven continually on or roads. He agreed. I guess it's back to the fuel gobbling truck.

In the scheme things I guess we are insignificant.
