Thunder crashing around

I enjoy the peace and quiet of the town, the friendliness and willingness of its residents to help each other out. It's great the way everyone says hi and smiles. I enjoy being able to walk to most things in town. And to walk the dogs trough town. Sometimes I settle outside the cafes and pubs that have outdoor places to sit, to enjoy being outside and enjoy a beverage, maybe do some sketching! Time after time the peace and quiet is shattered by the sounds and motions of the trucks barging through town. The sound is horrible, never mind the huge size of the monsters. Then there is the sense that there is no more than half a sidewalk between you and them. It is scary. 

I have had clients come to town and want to sit outside for a sandwich and coffee. I have made very excuse I can think of to get them indoors. It's embarrassing. 

I worry about the speed they are doing when they go around onto 10 heading north. I have come face to face with one taking a wide berth to turn southeast on 89 off 10 as I am  driving north on 10.

Are we waiting to see if we can drive all the businesses out of town? Are we waiting till someone gets killed? It is so unnecessary.
