Ruin, Despair and Agony on me!
Deep dark depression, excessive misery...

It was a storm that blew forcefully around our little county, leaving misery, devastation, shattered dreams and disillusionment all around. Individuals who had been secure in their existence suddenly found themselves awash in a sea of murky disillusionment. Others survived the storm, literally hanging by their fingernails. And, some newcomers surprised everyone by weathering the storm and surviving the pitfalls of imminent disaster. It could be, this was almost a "perfect storm", one of those abnormally focused, ultra-turbulent happenings that comes around once in a century. No, I'm not talking about the weather; it's been pretty good around here. I'm talking about the recent invasive political process that took place here in Kootenai County recently...



According to the latest accounts, there were no fatalities, although some of the participants suffered serious and potentially permanent political damage. Which comes as no surprise.
