Now on my trip and having a great time. Passing through Portland, Oregon.
Time to think, as always, in my life.
I just got to thinking that they name good things for good people; like segments of a bike trail. They often name the trail sections for people who donated labor, money, land and so forth.
"Mr. So and So's donation made this section of trail possible."
So, how about naming negative things for bad people?
For instance, the famous fence between Israel and the West Bank could be named for the suicide bombers. The bombers that caused them to build it.
How about having plaques along the fence named for each of the suicide bombers. "This section dedicated to..."
Maybe the USA could name new weapons for the 911 hijackers. Name the most lethal new tanks or gun ship helicopters for each one of the hijackers.
What goes around comes around.
Anyway, I would rather think about the good things people do.
As fences divide people and tell folks to "keep out," bike trails unite people.
"Through streets" unite people also.
It's nice to find either trails, or a "grid iron" street pattern that goes through. Too many "suburban" streets are dead end cul-de-sacs. Cul-de-sacs divide people also. Living on a cul-de-sac keeps so called "strangers" from going past one's "show boat" home.
Glad to be finding the roads and trails that go through and the nice people that make such things possible.
