[Vision2020] Beautiful dreamer . . .

[Tom Hansen]

I have just returned from a couple beers at John's Alley which followed
putting in a major order for shoes at Pecks (for my significant other) which
followed a CD purchase at Palouse Ridge CDs and Tapes which followed my
weekly trip to the Moscow Animal Shelter to donate dog and cat food. 

I enjoyed the beers (yeah, like that's a surprise).  The shoes will be a
surprise to Rodna as a late Christmas (or should I say "Xmas") present.  The
cats and dogs are well taken care of.  But, most of all, I seriously enjoyed
purchasing a Bob Dylan CD and shooting the breeze with Ms. Williams (David
Williams' significant other).
 
Ms. Williams and I discussed a bunch of things, primarily the City Council
session of last Monday evening and their (she and her family's) eviction
from their trailer park in 2004.  Apparently there is considerably more than
what the Daily News has reported.  This is not a matter of a property owner
being "stuck with the bill".  It amounts to "renters" being shown the door
with no place to go. 

This is our community, but it is also our children's future.  Let's show
them we care.

Take care, Moscow.

Dear Tom Ivie and other Visionaries,

Here are a couple of photos of Dan Mack's new and improved luxury trailer
court.  Isn't it

beautiful?  I especially like the dog out in the middle of the road, eating
some crap. 
The second 
picture is of the "turtle house" Dan built at the edge of the trailer park.
I believe
it's meant to be 
the manager's home and/or a laundry facility.  What it looks like is the
bastard child of
a 
McDonald's and a Jiffy Lube.

Dan Mack bought that trailer park of his own free will; no one held a gun to
his head.  He
then 
did a remarkably convincing impersonation of Ebenezer Scrooge by evicting
the very poor
and 
the very vulnerable from the park, knowing that it would be winter when they
had to leave,

knowing most had nowhere else to go, and knowing that most of the trailers
he deemed 
unsuitable for his new high-toned establishment were built pre-1974 and so
couldn't be
moved.  
They'd have to be sold for scrap.

What a great guy!  JoAnn must be so proud . . .

PS: If you have $820,000, you could buy this trailer park.  Don't you want
it?  It may
soon be 
prime real estate, conveniently located next door to a WalMart Supercenter.
