As a result the state has to bring it up to "standards" before the transfer. In my opinion (and that of a lot of people in town) the state is doing the absolute minimum that can be called acceptable. We also got money from the same people who did our piece of ---- skating rink for side walks at the same time.

This is in a town with some rather extreme temperature fluctuations in winter and water lines nine feet deep to prevent freezing. After the first winter we might be back to dirt. :o( Earle > > > > "Earle Horton" <enfermero_diabolico@registerednurses.com> wrote in message > news:bi97tt$6tken$1@ID-147790.news.uni-berlin.de... > > "Gerald G.

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon
Yeah, and they don't seem to be in much of a hurry to finish either. I
noticed today they're even doing curb work in places. Why does Silverton need curbs? Do you live there year round?

Re: Tomb Raider Rubicon
I think I know which one you mean, I ran into it last April in Moab of all
places. If it's the green one I'm thinking about I used to see it here in town from time to time, and it is indeed sweet. In the old days hard core Silvertonians must have doe a lot of miles in Power Wagons, in fact I think there are a few Power Wagon carcasses at the bottom of Ophir Pass! I went to college at Western New Mexico U. back in the '70's. I worked part time on a ranch in Cliff, NM and had a totally worn out Power Wagon to use as a work truck. Loved the Hell out of it...when it ran. Hey, what the Hell is going on with the Cascade, anyway?
