Patrick, I saw the same thing in a little town on the southern Oregon coast where I grew up, saw the same in Anchorage where I came in the early 60's, am seeing the same thing in the MatSu Valley, saw the same thing in Phoenix and in California, can't say that it's progress,  maybe a sign of getting old and missing the peace and quiet. I remember taking a walk in the woods with my dad and being told to not talk or go home because you won't see anything and now the woods are full of noisy machines tearing up the country and people shooting and stealing anything they can walk off with. A sign of progress?
