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!"
