Frances Salyers: Thinks Big Pencil a Distraction

About: Comments re article 74188 Mary Ann Brown Drivers should singletask just drive>

I know that all the wrecks here have not occurred after the big pencil. But do you not think that that thing could be a distraction for someone that is not from around here. Maybe it is time for the pencil to break and come down. After all the election is over. We need as few distractions through there as we can possibly have.And we can not blame everything on our cell phones.Some people are responsible. - Frances Salyers
Thanks, Frances Salyers. As hard as it is to even find the thing without walking up close to it, I'd personally think it would rank very low as a driving distraction - though anything in the landscape might draw a drivers attention - even a heron in flight, a deer, or even a turkey. That being said, Dr. Arnold was contacted on Sunday and he said that the time has come for the Big Pencil to come down. But, he insists, while the Nov. 4, 2015, election is over, he's convinced that he presented a case so strong any ruling or rulings will be in his favor. And he asked that it be known that his the new voting machine he's hoping to build in Columbia will protect the integrity of the ballot - which he says, is the issue. -EW
