There is a little town isolated out in the woods 65 miles to the south of Coos Bay. Powers Oregon population 635. Vast amounts of forest and range land surround the area and the economy there has been devastated by the decline in the wood products industry. One unique thing about the place is a herd of wild Fallow deer and wild Sika deer. A rich rancher brought them in many years ago. I had a government job working on low income housing there and on my way to work one morning one of the Fallow deer ran out in front of me. I had never seen one before and with its huge palmated horns stretching out across its back I thought I had seen a caribou. I get into town and I find the only restaurant in town that is open and I go in for breakfast. The place is covered with Art Robinson posters ( He is the tea party candidate who continually runs against Peter De Fazio) and loses miserably each time. There were several "political experts" at the counter spouting off all their intelligent know how. The waitress not bad looking gave me the "I want you" eye and came over to me. I ordered breakfast and when it came she sat down next to me and started telling me the story of her life and wanting me to come out to her place. When she had to re-fill coffee cups she would strike a pose in front of me and continue with that "eye". The rhetoric was getting more outrageous at the counter and the waitress kept gooning on me and it was getting to me. I did not mean to but I said "oh my God " out loud. The waitress said "What's wrong honey?" and I said "Nothing I just have to go". I gave her $10 for a $4.75 breakfast and she gave me the "come back Baby" look. I headed for the door. I felt relief come over me as I stepped outside and saw my pickup across the street. I made it----nope. A stranger came up about 2 inches from my face and said in Hillbilly drawl" How're you doin' today?"I thought to myself "oh great now what?" Thinking fast I told him about the weird deer I saw and he said "oh yeah they look like ticks" The other yokels who had gathered around us started questioning him on the ticks remark and started gooning on the subject of the deer. While they had their attention diverted I went to my truck and got outta there. I don't think I'll be back for a spell.

You will be sorely missed I am sure. Shocker, you had a government job and your so much better than the locals. Must have really galled you to have to stoop to their level.

WHAT'S THE POINT TO THIS TALE?!? That you don't like the "yokels" you're suppose to be assisting with your "government job working on low income housing there"?!? And in a tiny community like that - Population 635 - saying "I don't think I'll be back for a spell" sounds Naive... Where else do you think you'll go you won't run into those same "yokels"?!?

I don't think they'll miss me since the place has no shortage of charactors. While there I had a guy point to a 12 year old girl and say "that's my oldest girl she's tittin' up pretty good doncha think?" made me wonder. I told my wife about it and she wanted me to report it. I told her I was just joking.

Nope that was the southern end of Coos county. Poverty has taken its toll on the town that once had a thriveing economy where everybody had a job. Two thirds of the people left the town leaving the die hards behind.

Theres no point at all. guess you'll have the visit the place for yourself.. I was working on another job there restoring the historical cabin the oldest house in town. I left my keys on and everybody else had gone home and I needed a jump. There was a tavern across the street so I thought theres friendly people there. I went in and asked if any one could give me a jump. A big dangerous looking guy said " I'll go home and get my jumpers and meet you there" While jumping my pickup he told me it was his birthday so I told him I would sponser him for a few beers back at the Tavern. We got back and he sat next to a respectable looking woman. I bought them both beers. I complimented her on he husband being such a nice guy. She said "He's not my husband. He's my husband in law" I said "What's that" She said "you know when you're married and have a boyfriend too" Then he piped in "It's alright we all live together ". The folks in the bar laughed and one said "only in Powers" Quite the place, full of characters.

No man this place and people are real and exist. Powers has the distinction of being surrounded and investigated by the CIA. The restaurant I went into was subject to several weeks of scrutiny by CIA operatives because of threats on the Presidents life. Swear it on every Bible ever written. The investigation concluded that it was just "political experts" spouting off while drinking way too much coffee :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for your input as for my story its true but I won't go out of my way to prove it. The place is a living example of what poverty can do to a town and its people. We had better straighten things out or our whole country will go that way. Quit exporting our raw materials and quit exporting our manufacturers. America is being bled and people are suffering.
