This last weekend I discovered a traffic calming device. It was up
at our trailer on Alder Creek Road (Benewah County.) Granted, there
isn't a whole lot of traffic to calm up there, but my device worked
great: most every car that passed la Casa de Basura Blanca slowed
down to about 20 mph. It was unintentional, all I was doing was
building a pumphouse, but it sure worked: just build a structure out
of strawbales and watch people slow down to gawk. I could imagine
the conversations in the passing cars: "Gawdamn, Charlene, lookit
whut those crazy Flatlanders are doin' now. Looks like some sort of
straw doghouse. Hope there ain't no wolves around to blow it down,
ha ha!"
