The wages of impatience

Road work brought the northbound lanes to a standstill. The natives were getting restless.

A pick-up truck broke out of line, rolled down into the soggy median, did a U-turn, then climbed the other side of the ditch and merged into the southbound traffic. Inspired by the example, another truck made the same maneuver, followed by a SUV.

Then, a guy, evidently forgetting that he was driving a low-slung sedan, decided to give it a try. Going downhill, the sedan performed perfectly, but when it tried to climb the opposite bank, it faltered. Its tires spun, throwing mud in every direction. The car slipped back down the embankment and burrowed into the soup.

Nonetheless, the driver kept his foot on the gas long after it became clear that forward progress was out of the question. Pure frustration, I assumed.

Soon smoke - or steam from the car’s radiator - started billowing from beneath the car’s hood. I watched it getting worse and worse from my side-view mirror as traffic cleared and we went on our way.

Man, I am so fucking glad I no longer live in Fairplay and have to commute to Silverthorne every day - from today until next Thursday, Highway 9 is completely closed in one section so they can replace a bridge, and the only detour route adds 120 miles and 2 hours onto your drive. It was already an hour commute each way, like hell I would work 8 hours in a day and also deal with 6+ hours of commuting in that day too

What is Asphalt Recycling Plant?

The use of reclaimed asphalt, or recycling, has become a necessity. Governments increasingly want the reclaimed asphalt from old roads re-used in an effort to be more environmentally friendly. Recycled asphalt also can provide you with cost savings on several fronts.

To use this valuable secondary resource, ZOOMLINE offers the Asphalt Recycling Plants to help your recycling and cost-saving efforts. Regardless of the system you choose, modern ZOOMLINE plant technology will provide a quality recycling process and product.

Doukhobor Conscientious Objectors at Alternative Service Camp, Montreal Lake, Saskatchewan 1941. Most came from Blaine Lake, Saskatchewan, or the Doukhobor communities around it. They were sent to work starting in June 1941, as Doukhobors were conscientious objectors and refused to serve in the Canadian military, as they had refused decades ago to serve in the Czar’s army.. Dozens of other young Doukhobor men were imprisoned for their refusal to join the army or do alternative service, or fled to other parts of Canada. The Alternative Service workers built between June and October 1941 forty miles of Highway No. 2 (still in use) connecting La Ronge with points south, through land that was mostly First Nations.

Mostly from the private collection of Peter A. Kouznitsoff, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Doukhobor Heritage.

6) Road Construction Work: A dragline prepares the road bed and ditches along the alternate service road construction project at Montreal Lake, SK, 1941.

7) Moving the Camp: The work camp was built to be portable so that it could follow the course of the road construction. All the tents were built on wooden skids. Here, a tent in the distance is being skidded down the roadway to the next location. Three such moves are known to have occurred during the Montreal Lake alternate service road construction project, 1941.

On several occasions, men on leave travelled to nearby Waskesiu Lake in Prince Albert National Park for recreation. Here a group poses near the beach; Peter A. Kouznitsoff is seated in the center foreground, July 6, 1941.
