"Keep it simple stupid!"


My Dad & Tyler have a solution to fix the Oil spill in the Gulf and when my Dad was explaining his reasoning for his way of thinking, he told Tyler this story....  

"I remember when I was a teenager learning to drive and one place I learned was on the Pasadena freeway. Well,  this freeway was very narrow and winding. On the Los Angeles side there were maybe four tunnels you had to go into. These tunnels were like train tunnels that were rounded at the top. No big trucks were allowed on this freeway because of the height limits, but it was so confusing you could get mixed up very easily. Imagine this, the tunnels were built many years ago and the highest part (top of the round) was about 16 feet which made the lower part of the rounds maybe 12 to 14 feet. Many trucks today need 16 to 18 feet clearance.  One day a truck driver got confused and ended up having to drive through the tunnels and got stuck under one because he was probably just at the 16 foot height. Not being able to go forward or backwards the truck was wedged inside of that tunnel and couldn't move forward or backwards. Police, tow truck companies, city workers, firemen and engineers didn't know how to get the truck out, it was stuck. Well traffic was backed up for miles and miles and eventually a car was passing with a young kid in the car and the young boy realized what happened and yelled out, WHY DON'T YOU LET THE AIR OUT OF THE TIRES!!"  

Their solution is much like this story. "Keep it simple stupid!"
Tyler's busy drawing up his plan, we'll post soon and send to Washington ;o)
