[RP TownTalk] traffic

[Lou King]

Not that crazy.  I spent the summer in a town/county that has about 3 
miles of paved roads besides the US highway that goes through the 
county.  The main drag through town and a mile or so on two road out of 
town are paved.  All other roads/streets are dirt/gravel.  Of course 
Public Works spend all summer maintaining the streets and using water 
and chemicals to hold down the dust. No one, except tourist, bother to 
wash their cars/trucks and no one uses an outside laundry line. Of 
course the environmentalist complain every year, at budget time, about 
the cost of chemicals 'that end up in the river.'
Oh, you had your tung-in-cheek. So do I.  However, if we kept the 
streets and reduced the speed limit to 5-10 MPH...
