Last time a candidate came to town, the "Rats", and "Trolls" came out to sun themselves against the "last business to stand" 's fence here--(who have themselves, left to the outer fringes of the city, as the the other business did quite awhile ago...to ,outside if this ward)--and the open area between it and our children, and their safe walk to the market (the same one that often time sells to...depending on the age of who is working the shift... the "Rats" and "Trolls" that plague our area).  Much of the time still they are seen by the corner of the market phone just waiting...someone will help them...and their continuing addiction--helping them to put one more nail in their coffin; or better yet! give to the panhandler on the street--who may or may not be a real person in need--who will go and buy their "white-lightning" and "lung-buster"...instead of something healthy to eat for themselves or for their other--much less really work for it (when panhandling became legal years ago...did anyone know that  CA would get tough with its welfare system, sending  people swarming up here overloading it like they did CA's?),  Loitering itself use to be a call-able offense... of course then you get the pat answer to a call to such "persons" on these type of premises, that the city doesn't even know who owns it, but they can sure tax someone for IT!!!  Meaning EVERYONE, if they cannot find the true owner...

Also...

With 1.5mil. reportedly spent a day on B.'s campaign, shouldn't the money  be spent on security--especially the cost of extra security--be footed by the campaign machine?  Or do our sister cities get it?  Are they more savvy then us?  A real coup, yessery!  We can sure afford it!   They take advantage of the lack of patrol's in the area...the lack of coverage they know is going to be not around...(or will Popess Oprah shell out for it from her treasury...or has she already max'd out her campaign credit card for B.???  Can she "GIVE" through her new enterprise?  Can Chambers help her through the maze...stay tuned...)

...and even some "squirrelly=squirrel's" in the area with the spring fever brewing on their brains (same as the Rats and Trolls--only they can get in with coverage? down the street), have decided to strain their protected rights under the Constitution of...what?  The USA...?  State of Oregon?  ACLU?  Hmmmm...how bout the one of personal and moral courtesy...oh...pardon me...momma and pappy never taught you about such things?  My mistake.

I know it's important to have elections and it's real nice of them folks to stop by...but...it's cost'n us somethin fierce...

Rats, Trolls, Squirrels...a few Snakes comin to roost in the parking lot at dusk and during the night, UP and DOWN the PATH-A-WAY, doin thier business.. all distructive, and not just a "little illegal", to the neighborhoods...  Elections?  Oh yea...it's that time of the year, isn't it? 

But, sleep well, Mistress Mayor and Warden's/Councilor's/Commissioner's/Reps./et.all!  I'm sure your neighborhoods are well looked after...and your special intrests on tract...just the way you want/like them...
