Is wider better?

Talked to the road superintendent the other day. He had a crew working on Coe Is. Lake Road, putting down red markers and tape on trees. Nice fellow, very friendly, great personality for the job. Turns out the township decided to widen the road, take out some of the curves and blind spots so people can drive faster and get to town sooner. Of course they will miss all the sights I have shared here this spring, the fox, turtles, loons and deer all looking after their young and giving us a chance to glimpse their struggles for survival.

The forest has been pushed back.

One huge tree, still standing, but not for long.

Progress .................................... faster, straighter, smoother.

I prefer -------------------------------- slower, relaxed, scenic.  ...............................  must be getting old.
