Are the Sandpoint Gods Mad?

The latest word in the Sandpoint By-pass
is tunnel. Of course, this bypass has
the speed of a snail. Only 50 years in
the unmaking.

But now some beanie cap person thinks
they should be able to send a screw
underground and place tubing as they
go. This is not a driveway culver, guys..

In my best impression of Jack Sparrow,
as he explain ..."uh, Pirate!"...
Uh, Sand....Point!! What part of
Sand don't they get? Although
one of the old time Sandpoint was
telling me, a blow out your nose
coffee, story. Seems one of the newer
resident was explaining how the town
got its name of Sandpoint. He said that
the Indians would sell sand to the new
arrivals here... so this was a sand selling
point... hence Sandpoint. Oh, God help
us all.

Can you see it.. they start that giant screw
into the side of Sandpoint, get about 3 feet
down and the water will start gushing out..
Heck, we can have our very own Geyer.
Old Sandpoint... a continuous fountain.

One of the rumors is that a gentleman
was upset, that after he bought his
condo at Season of Sandpoint,
he found out they were going to be running
a bypass right by his door. So he came
up with this idea of a tunnel.

But it is probably like the Indian's
selling sand story, not much substance.

One guy said, heck the Idaho Transportation
can't build a decent road on top of the ground
how the heck are they going to build two
underground?

Well, this one should be a source of great
conversations for the next year. Wonder what
other idiot idea will be next?
