When the unemployment rate drops back to 10% he&#039;ll be talking about bag tax and bridge tolls again. It will be confusing. The streets will have been renamed, for people that don&#039;t live here, and the bridges too. This is the kind of sound thinking that will lead us into the future- Go Sam.

How about a 9-day work week- get a clue.

Cheer up, the worst is yet to come. About money spent recently: I saw snowplows during our recent snowstorm but they were all on TV.

The four day work week makes perfect sense and they can prove it- cool. I don&#039;t mind paying superintendents a 6-figure salary because they have to listen to the sometimes clueless public and smile about it.

I have personally driven 90% of the roads between Sun River and La Pine. There are pockets of woods but it&#039;s mostly homes and even a lowly .22rimfire will travel a mile and kill someone. The only time they should be allowed to shoot at night is when there&#039;s a coyote, or some other critter, threatening their domesticated animals.

I am an avid shooter and know for certain there are some $hit for brains people carrying guns. Good for most everyone- finally some peace. There&#039;s buckets of national forest land that&#039;s still available a VERY SHORT distance from Sun River.... I know it because I have been there recently.

See channel 32 versus for sport hunters- they are a silly bunch of twits. My dad would always say &quot;you can&#039;t eat the horns.&quot; Tue, 9 Dec 2008 21:57:43 +0000 http://www.katu.com/outdoors/fishhunt/35452484.html#IDComment12339199 http://www.katu.com/outdoors/featured/35814109.html#IDComment12338169 Great story. I hardly EVER read that much of a hunting story but you got me engaged. Thank You and congratulations.

It initially sounds trivial and as taxpayer it would normally get a NO NOD from me but this is personal. I worked as a car salesperson selling Ford and Hyundai cars this year, for the first time ever in my life, and they should close one day per week. There&#039;s no sense in 24-7-365. I&#039;d be asked to come in on my days off , and did, and all holidays are mandatory even if it was your scheduled day off. Their schdule sucks but the work is Okay. The law is a GREAT IDEA, it will pass, car salespeople will be delighted and appropriately represented in an otherwise harsh environment of silly scheduling and constant verbal harrassment from other employees.
