May 2, 2002a city made all of alleys---------------------
It's been kind of cold and overcast lately. Today, on a trip to Superior Central School near Chatham, I stopped to take a few pictures of Slapneck Creek. You can clearly see the snow in the photograph. The snow didn't accumulate and really didn't amount to much, but it clearly got Nature's message across. Road restrictions are still in effect in Alger County. That means large trucks and heavy equipment are prohibited from most secondary roads, including Forest Lake Road. This has really put a crimp on our Spring projects. Since Walleye Opener is less than two weeks away, some of our projects will have to be rescheduled for completion later this year. Still, we are focusing on a few projects that will be completed before the Summer season begins. -------------------- The dad writes his son that he is frightened of "the terrifyingly complicated language you use. It crawls everywhere, doesn't it? It is horrible to imagine what the inside of your head is like. Terrifying. I think of ancient cities with wandering streets up and down hill, beneath which are layers of cities centuries old, winding and twisting deeply, without a single straight boulevard. It is a city made all of alleys, Son. Your brain." Curtis White, author of Requiem.
