NORTHEAST OREGON TRAFFIC JAM
This was a scene I encountered on a country two-lane road this afternoon during my commute! Yup, we still have "cattle drives" out here!

About Me
- Name: Snave
- Location: La Grande, Oregon, United States
I am a native eastern Oregonian, and have lived here 50 of my 62 years. I left at 20, but was back by age 32 to be near my parents to help them in times of need. I don't fit in politically here because I view things from a decidedly left wing perspective... but that's o.k. because I love the people, I love the area and for the most part I like living here. I enjoy family time, listening to music, reading books, traveling, bird watching, hiking, backpacking, watching movies, keeping up on politics, watching sports, sitting at the computer so much I get sores on my ass, and playing music... if you need a band for your party or celebration, let me know; I play keyboards and sing for a rock and roll band, and we do mostly "classic rock". (I also like to play guitar and bass and other instruments, but those are for my private enjoyment only!) I am mainly an agnostic/skeptic, but would consider myself spiritual. I work in schools and in clinical settings as a speech/language therapist. It is enjoyable work and it pays some of the bills. I have a rather unpredictable sense of humor, which can get me in trouble at times, but hey, is life worth living without laughter? I think not!

I love cows. Cool pics.
My kind of traffic jam. Careful that not too many urban Californians find out about your "traffic jams" or you'll find your area inundated with millions of urban California refugees. That you don't want.
Cows?! You have cows? Are those the things that are producing all that methane that the 'Thuglicans are complaining about?
Kvatch, you're right!! Cows mass-producing methane, and those trees... more of them now than when the first settlers arrived, according to Rush Limbaugh... also polluting the air, like Reagan once warned. I guess if we have too many trees and they are polluting the atmosphere, we had better cut them down as fast as we can! The End Times are just about here anyway! Hehehehe...
Tom, I'm not sure my town is close enough to any major metro area for refugees from CA to enjoy it here. Boise, which may not really qualify as "major metro", is 2 3/4 hours away, and Portland (metro, but not quite major) is 4 1/2 hours to the west. Tri-Cities, WA is 115 miles away to the northwest of here. Other than that, there aren't any towns of any real size around here. Not many movie theaters, culture is lacking in a lot of ways. But then again, there is a lot of open space to fill up... heh...
Lizzy, I also love cows. My carpool buddy and I were laughing our asses off at all the drool-strands as we drove past the poor bug-eyed agitated critters.
How funny!!!
That is awesome, I grew up in a rural area and eventually I am going to buy a place in the country again. Your section of Oregon is beaufiful.
Add about a hundred mor sheep and you'll have a NZ traffic jam.
