There are sight distance issues, and people do speed, but that stretch of Lee Highway is not that different from everywhere else.

Oregon has EVERYTHING- except a decent speed limit.

Because most people are teased and taunted from a distance, and when they get to know a person it's like, OK, you're just like us -- but just a little shorter.

Most of the complaints we get are from pedestrians. But we're not sitting on piles of money and community needs sometimes outweigh our sources.

The step-by-step matching of our internal rhythms—circulation, respiration—to the deliberate universal rhythms that surround, lull, rock, yoke us, is renounced when we set off in an automobile, at an insane speed, to simply cancel out distances, change locations, swallow up miles.

It was exciting for me just to go down there and show people what I could do.
