Comments on: Wrapping the Sponge In Plastic https://boiseguardian.com/2006/04/06/wrapping-the-sponge-in-plastic/ A different slant on the news. Mon, 17 Apr 2006 03:49:47 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: HH https://boiseguardian.com/2006/04/06/wrapping-the-sponge-in-plastic/#comment-1170 Mon, 17 Apr 2006 03:49:47 +0000 https://boiseguardian.com/wp/?p=274#comment-1170 One of my favorite environmental bumper stickers :
PAVE THE PLANET

Well, somehow folks (not you Guardian) just don’t get it. Pavement and houses are fine, but Mother Nature is going to do what she does no matter what we do and if we err, we pay for it.

For years I have been waiting for the homes on The Mesa to start sliding away. I am amazed. If this year doesn’t cause any movement, then I guess that they are here to stay and I will laugh at myself for thinking they would follow California homes.

They shouldn’t be able to sell any of these upcoming houses.

Maybe if we promised designer water with the next flood, he would feel more at home.

As for the Audi, make a neighborly donation to the Coy guy. He could use it as fish habitat when he rebuilds his pond.

He was being funny. (And probably thinking about how much landscaping was lost – all of which he did himself.)

ED NOTE–Well, that takes a lot of her fun out of his misery! Party pooper.

God forbid someone who grew up in Idaho lives in there. Then who could you resent?

–Are Coy considered an exotic species by Idaho Fish & Game?
–Or are they just over priced, even trashier looking yuppie carp?
–Should F&G fine this bozo for introducing them into the Boise river?
–When they become established and mate with the wild carp is Coy a word that will offend ethnic sensitivities so someone feels the need to come up with another yucker like “pike minnow?”
–How many of these “flood victims” are really Idahoans?
–Other than the cynical entertainment factor, who really cares about these poor yo-yos?

During “normal” years, flood plains FLOOD as they have done for recorded history. What a concept!

ED NOTE ANSWERS: Yes, yes, no intent (act of God), perhaps, ?, banks holding the mortgages.

Wait until Lucky Peak Dam crumbles, either from age or from the fault line that runs nearby underground.
Of course, its never happened before so it never will, right?

It was from Channel 7. Try not to heap everything on one source.

ED NOTE–That’s what happens when you get too many channels going at the same time!
