ʻAʻole wau he ʻenekinia, mea hana alanui a i ʻole kekahi mea, akā, ʻo kēia mau uwea medians i hoʻokomo ʻia ma nā alaloa he mea hoihoi ʻole a kala ʻole iaʻu. ʻO ia paha kahi o kā lākou hoʻopiʻi ʻana, a ʻoi aku paha, ʻo kā lākou kumu kūʻai haʻahaʻa ke kumu e hōʻike ai lākou ma nā alanui interstate.
Ke hōʻike nei ke Keʻena ʻOihana ʻOihana ʻo Michigan ua hoʻemi ʻia ka nui o nā mea make ma ka ʻāpana waena o ke alanui. ʻIke ʻia nā kiaʻi pohō ma hope o kahi ulia pōpilikia ma Interstate 275 ma Farmington Hills.
ʻO wau wale nō ka hewa no kēia pōʻino, ʻoiai e holo wikiwiki ana au i ka ua nui a hāʻule i ka pā i waenakonu ma hope o ka hala ʻana i ka semi-trailer. ʻAʻole makemake wau e hoʻokuʻi a hoʻi hou i ke ala o ke kaʻa, ua hele au i waena ma hope o ka hui mua ʻana me ke kaʻa. I loko nō o ka ua, ua nahae ka ʻaoʻao o ka mea hoʻokele o ke kaʻa a ua nui ka nui o nā huna ahi, akā ua pakele au. ʻAʻole maopopo iaʻu inā e loaʻa iaʻu ke ʻano like inā ua hoʻohana wau i kahi pale kelepona.
Maopopo iaʻu ka pono o ke ala waena i hiki ʻole i nā kaʻa e holo ana ma kahi ʻaoʻao ke komo i ke ala e hiki mai ana ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe. Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i kahi pōʻino make ma I-94 ma ke komohana o ke alanui Baker i kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei i ka wā i kaʻa ʻole ai kahi kaʻa komohana ma waena o ka waena a kūʻiʻo me kahi kaʻa hikina. ʻAʻole loaʻa i ke kaʻa holo hikina ka manawa a i ʻole ke kuhikuhi ʻana no ka mea ua hala mua i kahi kaʻa hikina ʻē aʻe i ka manawa o ka hopena.
ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, i koʻu hele ʻana i kēia ʻāpana o ke ala ākea, ua hauʻoli wau i nā manaʻo o kahi kaʻa kaʻa ʻilihune e nānā ana i kahi kaʻa komohana e hele ana ma waena o ka waena. ʻAʻohe mea hiki iā ia ke hana a ʻaʻohe wahi e hele ai e pale aku ai i ka hāʻule ʻana, akā pono ʻo ia e kali mua i kekahi mau kekona lōʻihi.
Ma hope o ka ʻike ʻana i kekahi mau pōʻino koʻikoʻi loa i kaʻu ʻoihana, ua like ka manawa e kū a lohi paha i ka wā i hiki mai ai. ʻO kahi adrenaline wikiwiki a me he mea lā ʻaʻole i kū maoli ka mea āu e ʻike nei. Aia ka lull pōkole i ka pau ʻana o nā mea a pau, a laila wikiwiki a ikaika nā mea.
I kēlā pō, ua loaʻa iaʻu ka manawa kūpono e kamaʻilio pū me kekahi mau mākaʻi mokuʻāina ʻo Michigan, a nīnau wau iā lākou i ka mea i hana ʻia i ka wā i hāʻule ai ke kaʻa i ka median hou ma ke alaloa. ʻO ka pane maʻalahi a lākou i hāʻawi ai ʻo ia ka mea maʻalahi loa - ua hana ʻino kēlā mau kaula.
Aia ma kahi kokoke i ke alanui, e like me Interstate 94 ma ke komohana o ke kūlanakauhale, hoʻolei lākou i nā ʻōpala he nui i ke alanui a hoʻopaʻa pinepine i ke ala nui ma mua o nā pale palaki a metala.
Mai ka noiʻi ʻana aʻu i hana ai me nā pale kelepona, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana i ka wā ma mua o ka pale e kahi poʻohiwi koʻikoʻi a i ʻole waena. Eia nō naʻe, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kiaʻi kelepona, e like me nā kiaʻi, ke nui ka lumi no ka hewa o ka mea hoʻokele. I kekahi manawa ʻo ka mea a ka mākaʻi i kapa ai he "leak ma ke alanui" ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo e hoʻokūkū ke kaʻa me kekahi mea.
Ua ʻike ʻia ka median ākea e hōʻemi i ka pilikia o ka haki ʻana o nā ʻōpala kaʻa a hāʻule i ke alanui. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻolōʻihi i nā ala waena ma nā alaloa e kū nei, akā ʻoi aku ka palekana o nā pale pipili a metala paha.
E pili ana i ka pale kaula waena, ua nīnau au i nā koa i ka nīnau hikiʻole ke hoʻoweliweli iaʻu e pili ana i kēia mau kaula: "Ke hele nei ke kaula i nā kaʻa a me nā mea hele wāwae e like me ka mea i ʻike ʻia?" Ua hoʻopau kekahi koa iaʻu a ʻōlelo mai: "ʻAʻole wau makemake e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ia mea, pane wale wau:" ʻAe, pēlā ... "Makemake au i nā ala hao i hoʻopili ʻia i nā pou lāʻau. ʻO lākou ka mea palekana loa. “
ʻAʻole wau i noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka pale uwea a hiki i koʻu kamaʻilio ʻana me kahi mea hoʻokele i ka pūnāwai i hala. Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo ia e pili ana i nā uwea a kapa ʻia lākou he "moʻa kaʻa kaʻa". Makaʻu ʻo ia e pā i ke kaula a ʻoki ʻia ke poʻo.
No ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka makaʻu o ka mea holo kaʻa, haʻi aku wau iā ia me ka ʻoliʻoli i ka moʻolelo o ka makai kaulana ʻo Ann Arbor, aʻu i kapa ai "E like me kaʻu i ʻōlelo ai, Ted." He Highlander ʻo Ted, he kanaka koa Vietnam i hana pū no ka Oihana Makai o Salt Lake City ma hope o kona hoʻomaha ʻana mai Ann Arbor. Ma mua, ua ʻōlelo wau iā "Ted e like me kaʻu i ʻōlelo ai" he "cop snowman" ma kahi kolamu e pili ana i kāna mau hakakā me nā kaʻa hau.
I kekahi mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua huakaʻi ʻo Ted a me kekahi pūʻulu o nā Makai Ann Arbor like manaʻo i ka ʻākau o Michigan ma nā kaʻa kaʻa. Ma kahi kokoke iā Gaylord, ua hoʻopololei ʻo Tedra i ka huli, holo i waho o ke alanui a lele i luna o ka uea ʻala. ʻO ka hoaaloha kahiko o Ted a me kāna hoa ʻo “Starlet” holo pololei ma hope ona a ʻike i ka hana holoʻokoʻa.
Ua weliweli ʻo Sprocket a kamaʻilio mua iā Ted. Ua haʻi mai ʻo Sprocket iaʻu, i kona hoʻokokoke ʻana iā Ted, e noho ana akā kūlou ʻo ia, ua manaʻo ʻo ia ua make kāna hoa kahiko - ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻohe mea e ola i kahi ulia kaʻa e like me ia.
ʻAʻole wale ʻo Ted i ola, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka uwea ʻala ma kona ʻāʻī a haki ʻo ia. Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana no ka paʻakikī, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o Ted ma mua o ka uea ʻala. ʻO ia kekahi o nā kumu hauʻoli mau wau e hana pū me Ted a me kāna kākoʻo kelepona!
Ua hui au iā Ted i kēlā ahiahi a ua manaʻo ʻo ia i waho o kāna ʻano. E paʻa, e kuʻu hoaaloha uliuli a me ke kaikunāne!
He liʻiliʻi o mākou e like me Ted, no laila, ʻo kaʻu ʻōlelo aʻo maikaʻi loa, ʻo ka nānā ʻana, lohi, waiho i kāu kelepona, hamburger, a burrito paha, a hele mālie ma luna o kēlā mau mea hoʻokaʻawale kelepona.
ʻO Rich Kinsey kahi mākaʻi mākaʻi Ann Arbor i hoʻomaha i kākau i kahi blog hewa a palekana no AnnArbor.com.
www.oregon.gov/ODOT/TD/TP_RES/docs/reports/3cablegardrail.pdf? - Ke aʻo ʻana ʻo Oregon e pili ana i ka maikaʻi o nā pale uwea e pale ai i ke ala. A mai poina kakou i ka mea nui o na kaula uwea, ua oi aku ke kumukuai o ka hookomo ana a ua oi aku ka pipii o ka malama ana, aka, ua hoikeia mai na haʻawina e hiki ke emi ke kumu o ka manawa. No ka mea he nui ka poʻe koho pāloka e mālama nui ana i nā kumukūʻai ma mua o ka mālama ʻana i nā ola, ʻo ia paha ke kumu hoʻokele.

Ma ke ʻano he kaʻa kaʻa, hoʻoweliweli iaʻu i kēia mau mea keakea. ʻO ka hoʻopaʻi no kahi pōʻino i kēia manawa he ʻoki koke.
E Mr. Kinsey, ua nīnau ʻoe i ka nīnau like aʻu e pili ana i ke kiaʻi kelepona hou. Ke ʻike au iā lākou, noʻonoʻo wau no ke aha ʻaʻole lākou i waena o ka waena? Inā he poʻe ʻenekinia alanui, e ʻoluʻolu e wehewehe i ke kumu o ko lākou hoʻololi ʻana i ka hema a me ka ʻākau?
ʻOi aku ka lōʻihi o ka pale ʻana mai ke alanui, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka paʻa ʻana o ke kaʻa i ke kaʻa e hōʻeha nui ai i ke kaʻa a me nā mea e noho ana.
